Bielefelder History

Bielefelders are a German breed of chicken that was bred in the 1970s. A combination of many breeds such as the Cuckoo Malines, Amrock, Wyandotte, and New Hampshire brought about this dual-purpose bird.

Bielefelder Behaviour

Gentle giants would be a way to describe these scale-tipping chickens. Roosters weigh in around 10 lbs, with hens not far behind them in size. They are a cold-tolerant breed and excellent layers of extra large brown-hued eggs. Their striking pattern makes them beautiful additions to backyard flocks. They’re excellent foragers, but also adapt to pens as long as they are offered enough space.

Bielefelder Varieties

Bielefelders have a complex color pattern known in English as “cuckoo red partridge”. Males and females have distinct feather patterns that distinguish them from the time they’re hatched. These “autosexing” genetics allow hatcheries to determine males from females right away.

My favorite chickens, absolutely gorgeous - Emme,

These are beautiful, curious, intelligent birds. The roosters are excellent protectors of the flock, but non-aggressive towards humans. They enjoy forging and free, ranging, but are easy to train with food, calls, and repetition to return to the coupe whenever needed. They lay far more than I expected, eggs of various shades of brown. They do great in the winter, but unfortunately seem to struggle in our zone nine Summers. Have added fans to the chicken coop as well as a bunch of areas for shade and water.
