I was told when I purchased 6 chicks on 3/13 that 2 were EE, 2 Bielefelder and 2 Blue copper Marans.
The BCM are easy to Id. And I’m pretty sure they gave me Olive eggers rather than EEs.
But then again I’m not sure if the brown ones are Bieles or EEs, especially the one with Mohawk.
Any...
If I cross bred a Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington rooster to a Bielefelder hen, and if I cross bred a Bielefelder rooster to Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington hen, would the resulting chicks be the same? What would the chicks look like? Would both crosses result in auto sexing chicks?
This has been a really fun journey, and I’d like to share it with you while also keeping a short account of my experiences. I’ll try not to be long-winded, but I’m enjoying myself, so I hope you enjoy this as well.
My current breeding project involves crossing Bielefelder roosters with Enhanced...
I know there are several hyped up dual purpose breeds currently float around all the homestead channels on YouTube, intsa, Etc. So to do a little investigating of my own i got my hands on a small flock of Bielefelder's from a hatchery that shall remain nameless. I know hatchery birds are not a...
Rocklin, California - I have three beautiful Bielefelder Cockerels / Roosters for adoption. A surrogate momma hen raised them, and they are friendly and sweet.
I've been looking for a Bielefelder breed standard. I know they are not recognized by the American Poultry Association, but maybe they have a standard in Europe?
I pulled this off of one site: "Bielefelder chickens have a brown feather color with white and gray bars for females, while males...
I have a blue Silverudds isbar rooster over cream legbar and bielefelder hens. I thought this would result in blue or black chicks that are sex linked, but some are coming out very similar in color to the hen color..
Is this a possibility??
I will add photos of the chicks in question
We're thrilled to share our first-ever hatch with you! Tonight, we've set 7 beautiful Silver Bielefelder eggs from GreenFire Farms in our incubator, and the excitement is palpable.
As beginners, we're eager to learn and share in this journey with the amazing community here at...

We have a small flock of 4 backyard laying hens. We are looking to add another 2 hens (live in city limits, so we can have 6 hens total, and hopefully on the quieter end, pullet chicks). We have 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks, a Sapphire Gem and a Sapphire Olive Egger. All are pretty great foragers...
Wondering if anyone has crossed Bielefelder with Black Australorp? I have a gorgeous Black Australorp Roo that I have thought about crossing with a Bielefelder hen. Curious to know if anyone has and what the results were. Thanks!
Uww, got a bit of pasty butt going on (Anthonnyyyyy, you're needed in the brooding room)!!!!
My hat goes off to those chick photographers. Maaaaaan, I actually sat my fat butt on the floor to patiently wait for "the" shot and not scare them. I always get their behinds. Was hoping for some...

And I'm sorry I am not NPIP certified yet so I will...
I've been goofing around with the Chicken Calculator, and I think I might have a crossbreeding gameplan. But, I want to know more about the genetics of the birds involved first.
For example, the Cuckoo Marans from Murray McMurray, what is the 'extension of black'? 4 options on the calculator...
Hi everyone,
- My name is Boyd from Boyds Outdoors. I have my own flock of chickens since I was 12 year old. My coop is the "Overflowing Coop" I have off and on approximately 200-300 chickens. Bantams and regular chicks. I hatch my own eggs together with some hens. Mainly Orpingtons and a couple...
I just got these three chickens from my niece, whose class hatched them from a farm. I'd love to know breeds/genders (at least a general idea)
So far I'm thinking:
Red Sex Link Pullet
EE/Bielefelder cross Pullet
Bielefelder Cockerel
But maybe that's just wishful thinking? I've been wanting to...
I have 2 gorgeous Bielefelder cockerels that are ready for flocks of their own! They are large and still have filling out to do to become true kings. These German-engineered "uberchickens" do not attack their humans or their hens -- they understand "not tonight dear".
$15 each, $20 for both...
