A Bielefelder Thread !

[DesertChic]

yes, that head spot on male chicks. so then silver really is in the bielefelders? and has not been added recently via outside genetics? so we could possibly find a sport that would pop up sooner or later?

What do you mean by "sport"?

a throw back to earlier breeding. Unexpectedly looks like a previous ancestor from 3-11 generations back. Revert to an earlier type or color.

So I bought a few chicks(the little white and yellows are crosses we hatched) and will I had chicks I figured I might as well see if there were other breeds that interested me. Are the 2 brown's in the pic's Bielefelders? Hoping so! The black ones I got from the same person must be crosses of some sort. Shame on me for not researching first, but a bit of an impulse purchase. Thanks!

My guess the top two are legbars...based on the darker brown stripe and the fact they are far more prevalent than Bieles right now...

Coq au Vin, rooster in wine, is a classic and no matter how old your rooster is the wine rejuvenates him.
Where I come from we put everything that is “over the best time” in wine and vinegar.
Traditional old horses or the former dairy cow as well as game would end up in a sour pickle for days or weeks and then turned in to a slow braised dish with red cabbage or sauerkraut and dumplings.
If you want to start a fight over food here, ask if an apple or raspberry vinegar should be used.
The France rooster in red wine was as well designed for the though problem. And it is in my opinion a much better approach to use a good red wine, a Pinot Noir i.e., to fix the problem than white wine and vinegar. So, if you never tried Coq au Vin grant your next rooster a funeral fest that celebrates his majesty and that make you feel like god in France.

PM me and let me know what you're talking about. If I have doubts, I'll contact a moderator. I've seen ads elsewhere on BYC so they're would likely be no problem.

PS...I am thread starter.

OOPS...It's late. Sorry...I thought I was still on my Thread...

I broth tough ones in the pressure cooker. A few hours and presto! Terrific broth!

I love to make my own chicken stock. Do you chop the chicken into pieces?

I just looked up legbar and they sure do look like that! Sigh.. but still a fun breed to learn about next time for the biel's if that is the case.

Give them some time. Lot's of chicks look like that!
