About the Double Laced Barnevelder
The classic and principal Barnevelder colour: rich reddish-chestnut hens whose every body feather is outlined twice in glossy green-black, giving the famous double-laced effect, against a darker head and hackle. Cocks are largely black with a red-brown saddle and breast rather than full lacing. This is the variety on which the breed's UK reputation rests, prized alongside its deep brown winter eggs.
