Bielefelder

Bielefelder chickens have been called the “über chicken” due to their German engineering. Bielefelder chickens earned this nickname due to their many desirable features, such as being a dual purpose breed as well as breeding true auto sexing. The dual purpose comes from their large sized meat carcass and the hens egg laying production. The Bielefelder hens lay upwards of 200 eggs per year. Bielefelder roosters have a claimed weight of 10-12 pounds. Our Bielefelder chickens are one of the most docile breeds of chicken we have ever had. They are not flighty and welcome human interaction, even to the point of being jealous of attention from children. The auto sexing feature of the Bielefelder makes it easy to sex day old chicks as male or female. The females have a “chipmunk” stripe on their backs while the males are lighter in color and have a yellow spot on their heads. From day one you will know what sex your chicks are. The nickname “Uber chicken” is truly deserved, because no matter what you are looking for in a breed of chicken, the Bielefelder has it.

Buff Brahmas

The Brahma Chicken originated in India and was imported to New England in the 1840s. The Buff variety of Brahma Chickens was admitted to the Asiatic Class of the Standard in 1924. The breed gets its name from the Brahmaputra River in India. Buff Brahmas are hardy birds and were originally bred as extra large dual-purpose brown egg laying chickens. They are fancy breeds with fully feathered shanks and feet with a red pea comb. They are an excellent winter layer of medium sized brown eggs and their massive size makes them great for meat. Male Brahmas can reach the large size of 12 pounds with hens averaging out at 9.5 pounds. They mature slowly and are hardy in cold and hot conditions. Brahmas are also docile birds who frequently brood and make good mothers. Their beautiful appearance, excellent productivity, and practicality make them a very popular backyard bird. The Buff Brahma is a rare variety who sports a beautiful golden buff color. They have buff laced black feathering on their tail as well as their neck and head. Their plumage is smooth fitting and should not be loose.
