Double Laced Barnevelder (Large Fowl)
Breed Information
Bred direct from a top breeder in Holland, I bought these birds at a top show in Europe after watching them score an impressive score of 96 out of 98 . The markings and lacing is fantastic and the type is perfect for the standard. There will be very few of these birds in the country, so this is a rare chance to purchase some. The birds lay brown eggs.
