Yes, I know! I am wondering if these two could be Bielefelder hybrids. I messaged her to ask but did not get a reply.

Just a quick intro for me!
We bought 16 Bielefelder chicks two weeks ago now, 12 females and 4 males. Ours came from Grade Eh Farms in BC (I live in Canada).
Lots of great info on this thread, looking forward to reading along. I'll have to take some pics and share them tonight!
Any suggestions on tagging or banding day old chicks to keep up with traits along the road to maturity for breeding programs. I have seen leg bands but do they have ones for young chicks then remove for juveniles?
No but the chick does look like a Biel and a pullet. Could be a mix since the original agreement was for a mix, CL/Am. Maybe it is a Biel/Am....blue legs are not bielefelder.

The one in the bottom picture looks like a Biel pullet to me.Which chick, the lighter or darker one looks like a Bielefelder hybrid? I am guessing the darker one? I am trying to ascertain all of this because at some point I may want to offer up chicks from these two babies to friends and would like to have a credible guess as to what I am giving them.
