Bielefelder
The Bielefelder is a rare and impressive German breed known for its size, calm temperament, and exceptional utility. Often called a “super chicken,” the Bielefelder offers outstanding egg production, remarkable hardiness, and an easygoing nature that makes it ideal for families and backyard flocks.
Bielefelders are autosexing, meaning males and females can be identified at hatch based on color patterns—an incredible advantage for customers wanting pullets. Hens are excellent layers, producing 200–230 large brown eggs per year, even through the colder months. Their meat quality is also highly regarded, making them a true dual-purpose breed.
This breed is exceptionally gentle, friendly, and easy to handle. Bielefelders are large, sturdy birds with beautiful cuckoo-patterned plumage and a golden tint, giving them a striking, unique appearance in any flock. They are hardy in both heat and cold and adapt well to coops, runs, or free-range environments.
