These are Bielefelder/ Kelso babies. Mom in pic somewhat but has anyone ever heard of this mix they are beautiful but the game shows on the roos lol
 
I'm glad the original post was updated and more people have shared their Biele mixes.

I currently have 6 young mixed birds from my Biele hen, Marbles and 1 from my other Biele hen, Tic Tac Toe. They are in with 2 roosters who are both mixes of Orpington, Blue Australorp, & Rhode Island Red.

These 2 are my oldest at 4 months. This is MJ the cockerel and Pimento the pullet.

I have another cockerel around 2 1/2 months old. His name is Church. He looks very similiar to MJ.

My broody hen raised 3 Biele mixes. She hatched 2 cockerels and a pullet. These 3 all seem to have less color and patterning than the older 3.

This is Phantom (left) and Ghost Rider (right). Their markings are very similiar except one has grey/blue plumage whereas all the other males have had black.

And just a couple days ago another broody hen hatched my 7th Biele mix. Her name is Betsy Ross. This is the chick with a different Biele mom than the others, although I imagine she'll still look similiar to the others. I think it's a girl because she has the same down as the 2 older pullets had. The 4 boys had less (or more muddled) markings on their down as chicks.

I’m thinking they’ll be all black with some coppery highlights? Please post pics when they hatch.
I’m going to try Biel over Blue Copper Marans to see what the egg color (and pullets) will look like. My Biel rooster has a lot of gold so maybe I’ll get like a Crele blue or black.

These little surprises hatched just last night. Biel rooster over common EE- the broody is my blue copper Marans who volunteered to be mom. First time ever and 3/3 🥰
Last pic is Karen, my EE egg donor. Rooster is a big ole softy but sure looks tough in a wind gust 😊
Do you have an updated picture of the chicks in the first picture that are the BIE Roo x EE
 
Hi,

So, I decided to let my broody marans hen, Minnie Mae, have 6 eggs yesterday. She has two of her own, two from my Whiting True Green (a red colored single combed olive egger) and two from my sicilian buttercup. Dad is a handsome bielefelder.

I know I'm counting my chickens here, (Not sure how serious Mae is about it, as she switched nests at least once today), but has anyone hatched any of these crosses, and what did they look like?

Bielefelder x Black Copper Marans
Bielefelder x Whiting true green (or any red bird really)
Bielefelder x Sicilian Buttercup

:D :D :D
I have a couple Bielefelder eggs in the oven from the blackish Olive Egger in the first Pic, and down the road I'll be breeding my Bielefelder girls to the blueish rooster who is from a Splash Marans and an orangish Easter Egger. I'll send pics in a couple weeks when the first batch hatches.
