We are so excited to be able to offer the beautiful double-laced or
"partridge" Barnvelder. These lovely, docile birds are
good layers of medium-sized dark brown eggs. Colored eggs are always a more brilliant color early every laying season, and slowly
fade as the season progresses. The double lacing mean each brown feather is edged in black, their thin, elegant outlines silhouetted again like an echo, in a decorative double-border. This gives them the appearance of having twice as many feathers as "normal" chickens, and the clean molted feathers are absolutely beautiful for craft projects.
Barnevelders were developed in the town of
Barneveld in Holland; the intention was to create a hardy, good layer
of deep brown eggs. Success was met with the Barnevelder! Sweet, quiet,
healthy and content birds, they are a joy to own and raise since they
are winter hardy and stand confinement well. They do go broody: when
that happens, they make gentle, loving mothers. These adorable double-laced birds are calm and wonderful!
