Had to put the proyd papa in the pics too.

I have no idea. I only have Malines, silkies, Easter Eggers, Ameraucana and (Bantam) Cochin for other breeds.

Has anyone crossed bielefelder and malines? I know malines were used to make bielefelders but I lost my bielefelder roo and have 2 pullets I wanted to breed in the spring.

Go back a few pages someone hatched some and they had quit a few roosters. Hopefully there close to you. I'm still waiting for mine to lay. They are 5 1/2 months old. My rooster is huge I think he is still growing so don't know how big he'll be full grown.

My 3 month old English Orp dressed out at 4.5 pounds. But I guess it depends upon the line. I have both Bieles and English Orps. The English Orps are gigantic. But they eat way more than the Bieles. Plus you can't sex them until they are already ready to be processed. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
