I haven't read or heard of any studies on humidity levels. Did you mate father to daughter? I have heard that the first imports were smaller than the 2nd ones.Even when I dry hatch my humidty never went under 30% it mostly stayed around 35 to 40 %. I haven't had a shrink wraped egg or chick. I'll be intrested in what you find out. I'm going to post new pics of mine I'm waiting for the rain to stop everyone is muddy and wet. the new one's I got were shipped to me the last week in april so they are 4 months old next week.I would think smaller birds could be form using poulet eggs or from to much inbreeding.

No these were the 2nd batch of eggs I received from coast line. No doubt it could be the breeding but I know nothing about the stock these came from except for the excess of side sprigs showing in the birds I have. I did find a couple studies online of broilers incubated at high and low humidity levels. The outcome was no effect on growth but it wasn't studies on the effects of humidity being drastically low enough to inhibit hatching as these would have died in the shell had I not helped them out.

Looking forward to seeing your pics. I'm glad someone is getting rain. It is very dry here we need rain bad. It keeps going north or south of Ruston.

I would love to send the rain your way. The run is a mucky muddy mess.I'm thinking its to much inbreeding that's why they imported another line a few years ago. My rooster with the sprigs has too on the end of his comb the he has always had. Now he has a small growth in the middle at the base of his comb. I've been putting off culling him. He is sweet for a rooster. Pam
 
I still have one cockerel left out of your avatar bird and he is very nice also. I can pick him up and rub the back of his neck and he will close his eyes and nearly fall asleep. He definitely likes attention. He doesn't have sprigs but his form is wrong according to the German standard.
Does he look familiar

He has a concave sweep(shape of back) and the long sickle feathers which is not the German standard.
I don't want to cull him he's so friendly. Will try to keep him to have extra protection for the flock. I may even breed him I like his personality so much.

V This one with the flat back is what the standard should look like but minus the long sickles especially with the white in them.
I culled this bird he had side sprigs.

His body style is different from his offsoring in your pics. I kept one of his offspring he looks just like yours. Plus i'll post some that came direct from GFF so we can compare the diffenence. So far I've kept the whole order. I grow them all out keep half the hens and the best roo or two then sell the rest. If you need a better rooster my oreder was roo heavy your welcomed to pick one if you want.I'll be selling three pairs too. Pam

The lower pic is a 2011 import from the coast line eggs. Yes, I am interested in getting more stock as long as they don't have sprigs and if they look closer to the cock in the PDF link below. I would need to put my eyes on them. I actually looked on RBA yesterday for Bielefelders from GFF.

On the Biele thread TNBielefelder is starting the process to get them recognized by APA it's a 5 year program. If your interested breeders are needed for this.

This is supposedly what the German standard should look like. At least it's what everyone is going by for now.

For the life of me I don't know how to extract the photo from the PDF so you'll have to open it.
