To design a Bielefelder you need the exceptional crafting and engineering of the German people. They developed this breed in Bielefeld, Germany, at the start of the 1970s. Gerd Roth a poultry farmer created the Bielefelder chicken.

Prized for its high quality meat, the Bielefelder chicken came together by crossing New Hampshire, Cuckoo Malines, Wyandotte and the Amrock.

Bielefelders were first imported in 2011.

With many of the other chicken breeds, a lot of hysteria overtakes the reality of the chicken, but Bielefelder presents true reason for the hype. You have a couple of characteristics that rank this chicken close to the top, such as:

• Big and meaty carcasses

• Auto-sexing function

• Gentle temperament

• Beautiful feathers

• Laying of the largest brown eggs
