OTHER: Bielefelders are an auto-sex, very docile and gentle breed. They are winter hearty and can lay near year round if you're lucky! Their brown eggs have a touch of pink hue which makes them absolutely gorgeous. One of the better dual purpose breeds as both the hens and the roosters grow to a large size.
