Silver Laced Barnevelder
Originally from the Dutch town of Barneveld, the Barnevelder was developed in the early 1900's, just before the First World War, to create a reliable layer of brown eggs to meet the preference and demands of the European market.
Standard Barnevelders normally have bronze ground colour with double black lacing. At Sunset Croft, we have been working for a few seasons on developing our own distinctive Silver Laced variety with striking single lacing. We occasionally get Gold Laced coming through, which are also stunning.
Our Barnevelders lay attractive brown, speckled eggs.
They are not prone to broodiness, are quiet natured and easy to tame, so make great pets. Truly very special and exclusive to Sunset Croft.
As our Silver Laced Barnevelders are non-standard and still in the development stage, we are not releasing any fertile eggs for sale, but pullets will be available this coming season.
