Bielefelder thread!!!!

[BlueBaby]

I've been lurking but now I need to jump and shout. It's a miracle!!!
I ordered 12 Bielefelder eggs from Ebay. Shipped eggs are risky, but I did it anyway.
Yesterday they hatched, 9/12, 3 were early quitters. The miracle part:
8 female, 1 male!!! The breeder replied they have been getting many females this year. I'm happy!!!

That's great! I'm happy for you! Got picture's of them yet?

I have the floorpan sitting on top of the cage. When she first was put in the cage, she tried to jump straight up and her whole head went through the bars on the top. That was when I covered it just to keep her from trying to do that.

I do that too, with the floor pan over the top. I use a bungee cord to hold it on.

My broody girl has a distinctive broody cluck. It sounds like, "Bup bup bup bup."

You will have to show us picture's of them then, or it didn't happen.

I have 2 Bielefelder hens. They are very docile and have a sweet and funny temperament. They are friendly, love humans, and are very vocal.

Do you have picture's of them to share with us?

Oh, there will be pictures, believe me!!!

They love humans but are extremely vocal.

My current flock is pretty quiet. Except my roo, when he crows. You can hear him nearly a mile away when it's quiet.

I won't mind having some chatty birds.
