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.
The standard Barnevelder has bronze ground colour with double black lacing.
Over the past few years here at Sunset Croft, we have been developing our own distinctive Silver Laced variety with striking single lacing. They are more heavy set than standard Barnevelders and 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 handle, so make great pets. Truly very special and exclusive to Sunset Croft. You will not find these spectacular birds anywhere else in New Zealand.
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.
