Maybe her voice is just lower than the other baby chicken beep beeps!

She's a pretty girl. I guess not all chicken's sound the same. Neither do other animal's or even people.

Yes! This is best I could get. What do you think? I don't have ducks but seems to me what a baby duck quack would sound like!

cute! That’s a cluck. My girls do the same and give a good back and forth cluck-cluck-cluck conversation when I go out to see them early mornings.

Yeah, that’s similar to my adults

I don't know how I didn't find this sooner, but hello everyone! Bielefelder Kennhuhns are among my favorite breeds, but unfortunately I don't have any. I love both the colors of the Bielefelders and their eggs.

It sound's like you need to get some of them then.

Edited to add; I noticed that you put your location as the swamp. I bought some of my hatching egg's start from here. They packed them well. They also sell these Bielefelder's as chick's.

I have a broody Bielefelder sitting on eggs- should hatch in 7-10 days.
Those babies are just so stinking cute!!

Spatch and Daphne, and baby 2

Spatch is gorgeous. He's got a lot more color than my Biel roos. Where did you get him?

Hi, hope you're all doing well! I'm getting ready to set up nest boxes for 6 Bielefelder hens, 15 weeks, 4 Buff Orpingtons, 13 weeks, and 1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, 15 weeks {given to me by mistake). I'm thinking 3 or 4? Is a 5 gallon bucket on its side roomy enough for the Bieles? TIA

A couple of my Bielefelder hen's grew big enough that I don't think that one of those would work for them. It would be a tight squeeze. I have some younger one's that haven't finished filling out yet.

When I went out to check for egg's today, my younger Bielefelder rooster was sitting on 2 of the hen's egg's like a broody hen does. He did move though to let me take the egg's. Silly boy.

I have a few nest boxes on the wall of my coop, but when I was battling two broodies I figured I’d add some more space for the others. I bought a couple laundry baskets at the dollar store, lodged a small brick on each side to keep them from rolling, and added some strae bedding. This is my Orpington sitting. It’s a super cheap option and very quick in a pinch!
