Bielefelder thread!!!!

I haven't had a mean Bielefelder yet. Here's one of my past boys.

Sooo... Talked with hubby about adding onto the coop. It's a go, but timing is up to Mr. Weatherman. Or in our case, Ms. Weatherlady. In either case, It'll be April or May, most likely. We'll get the materials and I'll get the pieces cut to size and painted, and as much pre-assembly done as possible.

I think I'm going to talk to my neighbor (probably through text) and tell her I need to order the birds I want in the next few days/week. If she wants to add on, great, if not, ok. She wasn't planning to split an order with me anyway, and she may be looking at cost more than breed. I think her plan is to bring in new layers and move some older birds to freezer camp, but I don't know.

I plan to order 3 pullet Bielefelders and 1 pullet Blue Australorp. I have a Chantecler rooster that I got from a friend here on BYC. He's "my guy" as long as he lives, so that's the reason I'm not getting a Biel cockerel. I don't have room enough to have two boys. Well, I don't want to find out I don't have room enough for two.

Last night I couldn't sleep, I was so excited.

I don't have any, unfortunately (well I have a little male, but I'm currently trying to find someone who needs one for their flock. Silly me didn't write the info down of someone who had been interested ). I had tried to to get a few hens last year with no luck

Where do you live I would like him but how much

That would be the day before my birthday! I hope that they arrive in top shape and condition for you!

Thanks!

I chatted with Kelle from Mt Healthy for about 15 minutes while I was placing my order. She was so nice! She was excited for me too.

Now I just gotta put it in the back of my mind so I don't go crazy! I'll enjoy everyone else chicks here on BYC.

Well, Mt Healthy get thumbs up from me already!

I got the email with my order, and they'd misspelled my street. Really badly, but it was a "fingers over one key" typo. I called, got the same lady, and explained.

She was so glad I had checked it, and thanked me. I got an updated/fixed order email in about 5 minutes.

I just got a notification that my Bielefelder hatching egg's from Omega Hills is on the way. The post office has them.
