Where are you located Peepers? I know several breeders that have the 2011 import only and sell and ship eggs. I have some chicks from the early import that are over 6 weeks old that can be shipped now that it has cooled off some. I will also be selling a lot of pullets this fall after I select...

If you are running short on candidates for a new favorite Bielefelder I have lots of them available. :)

I am sorry to hear that you have lost one of your favorite chickens. It is never easy to lose one that is close to your heart like she was. I know you will miss her a lot.

You should be able to see if the ear lobes are red or white about the time they start laying. For my 2011 import birds that is about 7 or 8 months of age. The 2013 birds start to lay earlier than that from what I have heard of them.

Bielefelder Chickens Standard Bred I corrected the problem with the link to the page, you should be able to click on it an it will take you to the page.

I have started a Facebook Group for Bielefelder Chickens and how to breed them to the German Standard of Perfection. The goal of the group is to help people learn how to breed better Bielefelders and understand what the standard means. It is an open group so you can look around before you decide...

The original Greenfire import are pretty good birds. The 2013 import are fraught with problems. Poor body type, egg color is to light, white ear lobes and so on. They mixed both the 2011 and 2013 flocks so all their Bielefelder are not pure now and they cannot reverse that. They would have to...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/568022023401911/ I have started a Facebook group Bielefelder Chickens Standard Bred with a goal of helping people figure out how to breed their birds to the German Standard of Perfection. It will take a while to get everything in place but the plan is to post...

I have only had one partial white tail feather and the white is only closest to the body, I have never had white on the ends of the feathers. Is a partial white considered a fault or DQ? It does not look that way by the translations I have seen.

I cannot find the other translation so maybe it was something someone said. Each translation that I can find in my records right now say more than one full white sickle feather. Another thing I see quite a bit of are what the standard calls sootier neck hangings, so the hackle feathers, but I am...

I have another translation that listed anything over 1/2 white sickle feather as a fault but I cannot find it right now.

The most common problems I am seeing from the pictures of other peoples Bielefelder are poor body type, white ear lobes, dark barring on the breast and abdomen and more than 1/2 of a feather or multiple white sickle feathers. I had a lot of red going up into the back on some pullets but I culled...

The white ear lobes are a lot more common than I would like to see. Judging by what you see on sales groups and facebook at least is 1/3 to 1/2 of them, and that is only from the pictures you can see or them admitting that they have 2013 birds. What a mess Greenfire made of this, they should...

Someone earlier mentioned eggs from that prize winning bird that are listed on ebay. These Bielefelder are so rare it was probably the only Bielefelder at the show so getting Best of Breed is no big deal when there is no competition. I have shown several breeds of my birds where I am the only...

Bine, Have you read the translated Bielefelder standard that is posted on Greenfire Farms website? Do you think that is a pretty good translation? Anything that you could add to it to clarify anything that may be incorrect in the translation? Are there some good German sites that would show...

I have only had contact with a few breeders that seem to care about breeding them to the German Standard of Perfection, although I believe there must be a lot more conscientious breeders out there. When I asked questions on several of the groups I belong to not one person admitted to having...

I spoke with someone at Greenfire Farm to try to find out why my pullets have white ear lobes, she said oh my we have only heard of a few people with them. BULL. After looking on ebay and several groups on Facebook selling eggs I believe at least half of the BF breeding birds out there are not...

I realize there are some without a crest but the lack of a crest in Cream Legbars is a disqualification according to the proposed SOP for the Cream Legbar application to the APA.

When I talked to the person at Greenfire yesterday she asked me what color eggs the problem pullets were laying. When I told her they are lighter than my original eggs she said that was what she had heard from the other people. When I bought my original flock I was getting 1/3 lighter and 2/3...
