Barnevelder Chickens The distinguished Barnevelder chicken hails from the picturesque Barneveld region of Holland, renowned for producing rich, dark brown eggs. This elegant breed is admired not only for its beauty but also for its hardiness and calm disposition. With its graceful single comb, the Barnevelder thrives both in free-range settings and confined spaces, making it a versatile choice for any discerning flock owner. First recognized by the American Standard of Perfection in 1991, this breed is a true gem in the poultry world. At Chick Hatchery, we take pride in our Barnevelder breeding stock, which showcases the exquisite single-laced and increasingly sought-after double-laced feather patterns. Our dedicated breeding efforts each season aim to enhance the classic double-laced plumage that defines this remarkable bird. While still considered a rarity in the United States, the Barnevelder is steadily growing in popularity. Its striking appearance, combined with its practical qualities, makes it a perfect addition to any heritage flock. For those who appreciate a breed of elegance and substance, the Barnevelder offers both beauty and utility, a true reflection of refined poultry breeding.
