This is a fairly new breed that is super docile, easy to care for, and large! Males can be 10+ pounds and females just slightly smaller!  They are considered a heritage breed and originate from Germany in the 1970s. They are good at heat tolerance but even better in cold climates. So far we have had no trouble with them in our Texas weather.

Bielefelders are very beautiful birds. The hens have a brown ground color overlaid with faint bars of white and gray. Males have orange barred hackles, backs, and saddles with the tails and breast being black with white barring. Our Rooster was a crowd favorite 
 
They are auto-sexing! Bielefelder male babies have reddish shades with yellow dot on head. Bielefelder female babies have reddish shades with NO yellow dot on head.
 
They lay 221-280 large brown eggs a year.
