The Barnvelder is a gorgeous chicken with a brown feather double laced with black. It comes from Holland and is a dual purpose breed. the egg colour is dark brown to a pink brown color or brick red brown which is what we mostly get. They lay 3 to 4 eggs per week and lay through winter with the right lighting. our fertility has been running about 94% with these this year, and the chicks have had no problems.

These, my swedish flower, and my blue maran eggs are all $25 a dozen. in pictures the closest hen and rooster are barnies
