The Bielefelder (pronounced "Bee-Lay-Felder") has a history that traces back to the 1970s in Bielefeld, Germany.

Gerd Roth, a poultry breeder passionate about both practicality and aesthetic appeal, is the creator and first developer of Bielefelder chickens.

Roth embarked on his breeding journey while envisioning a chicken that would not only excel in egg production and meat quality but also captivate onlookers with its striking appearance.

One of the breed’s most notable characteristics is its captivating plumage, a striking black-and-gold pattern that shimmers in the sunlight.

The Bielefelders’ temperament evolved to be docile and friendly, making them an excellent choice for families and hobbyists.

Furthermore, the breed displayed remarkable egg-laying abilities, producing a consistent supply of large brown eggs.

Bielefelder chicks are autosexing.

It’s easy to tell the males and females apart because the males have a white dot on the top center of their heads; females have brown stripes instead. 

The breed’s ample size contributes to its ability to serve as a dual-purpose bird, excelling in meat and egg production.

Most Bielefelder hens will lay about 220 to 280 (or more) eggs per year.

These eggs are large and have a rich brown to chocolate shade.  

Most hens start laying eggs around six months old.

You may find a few “pink” or “purple” eggs too.

Bielefelders are known to have fun bloom colors. This pink or purple shade will wipe away if you wet the egg.
