A Bielefelder Thread !

[Sylvester017]

How did you get this e-mail? I have bought from them before and I did not get any such e-mail. Do they have a mailing list you can sign up for now?

It's been a couple years since I corresponded with them on their website. They've always been kind to answer my questions so I joined their bulletin updates. If you go to their "contact us" page you can call them or email them to ask to be added to their bulletins and updates emails.

So from what I've heard Biele's have LOTS of fluff on their rear end that it inhibits sex so breeding for less fluff and less double yolkers will be my biggest priorities! (as of right now)

My eggs run xjumbo to jumbo, but I have only had one double yoker, out of 800+/- eggs.

I seem to have found a standard for them here. It is all in german but google translater works fairly well.

^ Nice! Anyway you could translate for us computer illiterate folks. Would be cool if this could be translated and made a sticky for this thread.

The idea of a characteristic color
To breed chicken, in which
one of the plumage coloration
the chicks can immediately notice
What's cock or hen, had
already in the thirties of the
last century, the English
Professor Punett. The characteristic color
is from many racial poultry farmers,
due to the homozygosity

The subtleties
the drawing
Bielefeld characteristic chickens are now
in crele and silver crele
recognized what two
quite attractive colors. In both
Color strokes can also
the chicks on the first day
be distinguished. The stopcock
see generally ocher
ckenstreifen out, with light brown Rü
and a white spot on the Sperber
Head. The chick is Henn Tan
with a small, well-defined
Sperber spot on the head.
The chicks of silver crele
the chicken colored mousy,
to slightly ocher in
Sound, and have a fingernail-sized,
white or slightly yellowish
Head spot. The Henn chicks
are gray brown with dark brown
Back strips. The head spot is
more like a tip of a pencil
Lined gray dot. That's the way it is
easy even for a layman, the gender
to separate.
Consider plumage colouration
the crele more closely,
so we need to tap and
Henne treat separately, since they
fundamentally different in plumage
are. The Faucet should in the neck and
Saturated same slope and upper back

Hue is a whole by

and elytra covered far
is. A slight gray tint
in the back and especially in
the binding area is permitted.
But in no case is a sooty,
black neck finish, as he often
will be shown, permitted. The
Secondaries are gray-white tawny
cuckoo desired.
The lower neck, chest, flanks and
Belly should consistently yellow to
be slightly red and by a
interrupted brighter Sperberung
be. Here is the entire
lower body, a slight
gray tinge in the color allowed.

the upper hackles should

Sperber drawing often occurs on the

In conclusion of this
different color match is to
say that you only with clearly marked

Only in this way is always the recognizability

Silver crele is an entirely

Ha ha You got to it just before I did!

Now if only someone who is german could translate some of those words for us and make it more easily understood.

So from what I've heard Biele's have LOTS of fluff on their rear end that it inhibits sex so breeding for less fluff and less double yolkers will be my biggest priorities! (as of right now)

i think i have heard that double yolkers are temporary and mostly layed by young pullets. Years ago there was a small store that sold only eggs that were dbl. yolkers.

Yes they are but the lady that I got mine from said that hers laid LOTS of doubles and that uses up ova twice as fast so I really don't want that happening.

If anyone is interested, I have a very sweet bielefelder cockerel available in Oxnard, CA. I would prefer he have a home where he can live as opposed to being turned into meat.

He came from a breeder in West Virginia as a hatching egg. Hatched on 4/2/15:
