Barnevelder  Extremely Rare
Egg Color : Dark  Brown To Mahogany
Average Eggs Per Year : 180-200
Size : Standard
The Barnevelder originally come from the
District of Barneveld, in Holland.

They are a very desired breed by many due to
their ability to lay a very dark brown egg in
good numbers. They are an all-purpose
utility breed making them a wonderful  
addition to any farm wishing to work with a
rare breed.

The Golden Laced and Double Laced
varieties of my flock that I have  pictured
here, are a beautiful  example of the color
patterns that you should expect in your
flock. Barnevelders are a very docile
breed,which makes them very easy to work
with. Each morning as I tend to my flock,
the hens gather around my feet like pets. The
roosters have been known to accept a brood
of chicks and even settle down on them in
the evening. They are an excellent foraging
breed that knows how to take care of
themselves running free range as my birds do.

We know that you will enjoy this breed on
your farm, we certainly do!!!
