A Bielefelder Thread !

The rooster looks like a Bielefelder to me. The hens look like they could be Bielefelder mixes?

Thanks. I'm thinking that's what he is. That's the closest I've come up with. He's pretty!

Oh yeah? YEAH!!!

 

[DesertChic]

Any ideas?

They look like they could have Biel blood, but don't look pure. They're a lot more gold/buff in the barring than in my Biels.

ShadyLady they look like Rainbow Rangers. I don't think they are Biels.

My Bielfelder rooster died, and right before I was going to start collecting eggs from them. Currently I am on the look for a cockerel if anyone knows of someone who has any.

I wouldn't give up just yet. I collected eggs for a week after I put down my rooster, and most of them developed.

The hen was free ranging with about 6 other roosters,

A weekend of ups & downs. Sold lots of chicks & even my fav Spitzhauben Pair. It always feels good when you get a chance to meet other chicken families and know that your "babies" are going off to loving homes.

The sad & shocking news is that the chicken number went down by one today. My beloved Bielefelder "Hen Solo" died. The best I can figure is that she got into my garden by jumping the shortest section of fence by the gate. Perhaps she followed my intelligent lightweight athletic hen. Hen Solo probably couldn't find her way out. I do not want chickens in my garden, so I do not have feeders & waterers in there. Bieles don't do well in the heat. Being stuck in direct sunlight on a hot day with no water probably gave her a heart attack. I feel terrible. The fence is suppose to keep the chickens OUT not IN. I found her around 1pm. I already miss her continuous honking for treats as I do my chicken chores.

RIP my dear Hen Solo
