Our New Barnevelder Hens

Barnevelder hens lay lovely dark brown eggs and are also on the register of The Rare Breeds Survival Trust, so when we got the chance to buy these 3 hens we jumped at it.

They are still in quarentine at the moment but are doing very nicely and are in lovely condition.

She Who Must is going to start breeding Barnevelders next year and when we go to the national poultry show in a few weeks time we will be picking up a cockeral from the secretary of The Barnevelder Club so hopefully we should get some good hens next year.
