    Need to cull some roosters

    Mrs. GT here. Thank you Ridgerunner. That helps us narrow things down. I didn't realize we were more spread out on goals than we should be. I don't think we're that picky about physical traits (like eye color), though one of our roosters has an odd green feather in his hind quarters. I've...

    Need to cull some roosters

    Evening all, Thanks to everyone who took time to help us out. We really appreciate it. This is a composite of my wife and I trying to answer, so if it looks like two people typed this, we did. We decided to get chickens for the first time to help us be a little more self-sufficient. My wife...

    Need to cull some roosters

    Greetings everyone, This is a post I made in a different forum and didn't get much response. Well, to be honest it's in one of the Bielefelder Threads, but I degress. Our chickens have reached 20 weeks and the roos are getting a bit feisty. We are concerned that having 9 roosters to our 21 hens...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    Good morning everyone, Our chickens have reached 20 weeks and the roos are getting a bit feisty. We are concerned that having 9 roosters to our 21 hens will very soon be putting too much pressure on them. All the extra roos are from a straight run we had to purchase. We are wanting to keep the...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    I think we found out what the yellow one (with gray on his back and wings) is. He has five toes on his feathery feet. Someone posted a photo here of a Salmon Faverolle (no idea how to spell it). It looks just like him. He's a fun one. We've had some small amount of poking but it hasn't...

    Brooder: Is a porch ok for new chicks? (temperature?)

    Thanks again for all of the replies, especially bringing my attention to the idea of a heater not being a good one. We aren't using it. Everything was ready for them. We lost the two smallest ones. I don't think it was due to anything we did. But the rest of them seem to be doing very...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    Ok, the spousal unit took some much better pictures than I could have done. But then again, she's normally much more on the ball than I am. We lost one of them this morning, but the rest seem good to go. Here's the break down as I see it. Group 1 has a couple with a light spot on their...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    This is GT's wife. I've got to make my own log in, this weekend. We're a little confused about the sex of the chicks because there seem to be about four coloring groups. 1. Light brown body, gray stripes on side back, white dot or horizontal stripes on head (assume these are male) 2. Light...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    Good morning from Alabama!

    Hello. My husband started the thread but I'm reading too. Thanks for the warm welcome! We have ordered Bielefelders. They seemed to have some very good traits. Does anyone here have them? Suzanne

    Brooder: Is a porch ok for new chicks? (temperature?)

    Hello. :) My husband and I are new to the forum and this is our first time raising chickens. I hope someone can help with a few questions. The first one is about raising chicks on a porch. We thought we would not be able to get chicks until the summer because the Bielefelders were all...

    Good morning from Alabama!

    We just entered the world of chickens. Instead of starting out with just a few, we ended up with an order of 25. With that said I feel we will be needing all the help we can get. We have been lurking on the forums a bit, but now we are jumping in with both feet! We already have a ton of...
