I will be interested in a couple of 2013 import roos when you hatch....

Great I'll let you know.Pam

I'm really interested in this breed. Can anyone tell me how they do in heat? I live in southern AZ, where the winters are mild and the summers are a scorcher. 

I'm outside of New Orleans our heat is high in humidty. They did fine. They did pant in aug. I keep a kiddy pool so they can get their feet wet. They need shade too. Pam

My Bielefelders easily sustained short bursts of 100 degree days in the hottest part of summer. Granted, I don't have long periods of the scorching that Arizona does. But a couple days in a row of 100 didn't phase my Bielefelder flock. So far, winter hasn't phased them either but January is the coldest month here so it remains to be seen.

I am in Tennessee near the Georgia end of the State. I am building my flock now but have about a dozen baby Bielefelder roosters for sale locally. Before long I'll have hatching eggs listed on eBay.

How old are they? I need an older cockerel. I have 2 pullets near pol and no cockerel for them. One girl is getting pink.....

The young ones are 1 week to 1 month old but I do have an extra cockerel that was born in early August.

I know you are a long way away.... do you ever come to Nashville?

Sorry, no. But you may want to check out Trillium Ridge Farm near Knoxville. They raise Bielefelders. That might be a closer drive for you. http://www.trilliumridgefarm.com/poultry.html

Hi DesertChic! They handled the heat as well as my smallest chickens (cream legbars). Sure their beaks would be open and them panting, the rest of chickens were too. Make sure they have plenty of fresh water and shade.
