I only have a photo from this morning! I will get better ones when I move them over to the brooder.

Like I said, that was what I found when I googled it. Shortly below my original post, someone pointed out an old breed that has long been recognized that wasn't on the list. I can care less what the APA recognizes or doesn't. I just get birds that I like. I have some cross breeds that I love! They will never be recognized by the APA, like I care!! Bielefelder crosses are what I am talking about. I have some Bielefelder roo over Black Sex Link hens, they are the gentlest and sweetest pullets that I have.
I've been reading about the Bielefelder breed this morning. Very impressed!
PlumCreek - I recognized your beautiful roo from Craigslist. When I have another hen go broody, I may hit you up for eggs. Do you weigh your eggs for hatching?
I love this breed. Since they are a larger breed, they take longer to get to POL, but once they do- wow! I should weigh my eggs. I have an antique egg scale that needs calibrated, but in the meantime I think I will go get a scale to see. I know the first eggs they layed were the same size as my leghorns.
While the cat was away.....the mice discovered rare breed auctions and purchased 4 Bielfelders! Two pullets and two cockerels but the cold weather has prevented shipping so I must be patient
Anyway, am looking forward to enjoying this breed and am really appreciating this thread!
