Baby Chicks: Double-Laced Barnevelder

Awww! Bebe sounds adorable! Some little ones are a bit more timid and take time to warm up - especially as you discovered - when the other birds push them out of the way! We are happy that she has come around for you in her own time and has begun laying her pretty eggs! We hope for many wonderful years with Bebe and her flock mates! Please let us know whenever you have questions about them or their care needs - My Pet Chicken is here to help!

Your baby is so adorable and we appreciate you sharing her photo with us all! We certainly hope that there is no mistake and that your baby will lay beautiful eggs in the future but My Pet Chicken does have a guarantee for the possibility of an error. Typically, it is very difficult to determine gender just by sight or behavior until your birds are much older - our reporting window opens at 14 weeks of age through 22 weeks for breeds other than silkies (silkies are bit slower to mature so we give them a bit more time). Our Vent Experts examine the babies as soon as they hatch by looking at more than 15 little tiny parts in their vent and do their very best to make sure you receive the babies that you order. We have our guarantees available for review under "Refunds & Returns" at the bottom of the website if you would like to have more detailed information. And, of course, if you have any questions about this or anything with your flock, always feel free to contact us by phone, chat or email - My Pet Chicken is here to help and truly cares!

Thank you Silvia for your wonderful review of Miss Pinecone, your Double-Laced Barnevelder! We are delighted to hear how adorable and friendly she is.

Thank you so much for taking time to share about your experience! We are thrilled to hear your babies have arrived safely and you are happy with our support!

Thank you for taking the time to review our little babies! We are so happy to hear they are doing well and bringing you happiness! My Pet Chicken hopes to help you with your flock needs in the future!

Thank you Rhonda for your review on your Double-Laced Barnevelder. She should catch up in size to your other girls soon and be a wonderful hen.

Thank you for your very thoughtful insights on this great breed! They are an active and amiable bird. "Barnies" usually are a breed that can be easily tamed if you start at an early age as they do tend to be gentle and definitely kid-friendly. However, like most any living animal, we always have a few that may just have a different personality. We hope that she is bringing some happiness to your flock and please always let us know if we can answer any questions. We are always happy to help!

I'm sorry to hear you lost a chick on your order! We do have a 48 hour live arrival guarantee and I have reached out to your directly about your loss.
