Cackle Hatchery Bielefelder

Photo of Bielefelder

Description

The Bielefelder is a German dual-purpose breed known for being a "gentle giant" that excels in both large brown egg production (3-5/week) and meat production. Developed in the 1970s, they are auto-sexing, meaning day-old chicks can be easily distinguished by color. They are calm, hardy in both heat and cold, and have a unique "cuckoo-red" plumage

Features

  • Size: Large, with roosters weighing 10-12 lbs and hens 8-10 lbs.
  • Appearance: Distinctive plumage with barred, brown, gold, and white coloring, often described as "cuckoo red". They have single combs and yellow legs.
  • Auto-sexing: Chicks can be sexed immediately; females have a "chipmunk" stripe, while males are lighter with a white spot on their heads.
  • Temperament: Extremely docile, calm, and friendly, making them ideal for families.
  • Hardiness: Known for being cold-hardy, heat-tolerant, and good foragers.
  • Origin: Developed in the 1970s by Gerd Roth in Germany by crossing Amrocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, and New Hampshire Reds.
  • Production: They are prolific, large-brown-egg layers.
