The Barnevelder chicken, or Barnie, is a dual-purpose breed originally from the Netherlands. They are medium-sized, friendly birds known for their striking black and brown feather patterns. Also, they lay dark brown eggs, make great pets, and are perfect for beginners due to their calm nature.
What makes these chickens popular is their ability to lay “chocolate” eggs. Their eggs are not only appealing in color but are also laid consistently, making Barnevelders reliable egg producers.
In addition to their practicality, Barnevelders are known for their gentle nature, which means they’re easy to handle and care for.  ***Also Available As An Assortment.  See Unique & Rare Breed Combo.
