Hi all,
I have an F2 Egyptian Fayoumi/Bielefelder mix that has expressed some surprising phenotypes. Usually I see black barring (autosomonal dominant from the Fayoumi) or auto-sexing barring (from the Bielefelders) in varying combos of barred buff, red, or white. To my shock and surprise...
Long story short; my mother in law had some chicks in our coop until they were big enough to go to her place. She took what she thought were cream legbars and left our bielefelders. This one has developed a crest similar to the legbars we already have. Can anyone confirm what I’m thinking?
Hi, I'm new to Bielefelders and received an extra from Cackle Hatchery with my order! Is this a blonder pullet or a roo (chick on left, a pullet is on the right)? The coloring seems in-between. I have a different Bielefelder chick that is clearly a roo with the full white mark on the crown...
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...

If ya'll want to order some then please contact this email address: [email protected]
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...
