Breed Details: The Rosecomb is one of the oldest bantam breeds of chicken. The earliest surviving records of the breed are from the 14th century in Britain, though it may have another point of origin. Their popularity as an ornamental breed first took flight after King Richard III began to raise them. Their popularity among poultry enthusiasts continued in to the 19th century, and Rosecombs were shown at the first North American poultry exhibition in 1849, as well as being admitted in to the first edition of American Standard of Perfection in 1874.
The Rosecomb is a breed of chicken named for its distinctive comb. Rosecombs are bantam chickens, and are among those known as true bantams, meaning they are not a miniature version of a large fowl.
Rosecombs are one of the oldest and most popular bantam breeds in showing, and thus have numerous variations within the breed. An ornamental chicken, they are poor egg layers and not suited for meat production. Rosecombs are almost exclusively kept for competitive poultry showing, and their characteristics reflect this.
The breed's most noticeable trait is its rose comb, which is large compared to its overall body size. They also sport relatively substantial white earlobes, prodigious tails, and a compact body shape.
Rosecombs appear in 25 different color variations though black, blue, and white are the most common.
Selective breeding solely for appearance has produced birds with striking appearances, but poor egg laying ability and some reproductive problems. Due to a genetic trait tied to rose combed chickens, roosters may have low fertility. Hens rarely are inclined to brood their own clutches, and chicks have high mortality rates. However, adult birds are generally hardy and active. Unlike the majority of chickens, Rosecombs are good fliers. They are also usually friendly birds, but cocks may be aggressive.

Today it is still seen as a symbol of courage, social status and heroism and they compete in contests for the most perfect crow, for the Governor of Sulawesi Cup.

The same ingredients of the large fowl Cornish, the Aseel, Black Red Pit Game, and Black Red Malay, were used to create the bantam, with the addition of crossing the bird with a Black Red Game bantam to create its bantam size.
Breed Description The Indian-Game name was officially switched to the Cornish in 1920. It is unclear when the bird was first imported to the United States, however, the bird first appeared at the St. Louis show in 1904.

Breed Details: Gerd Roth a poultry farmer created the Bielefelder chicken in Bielefeld, Germany in the 1970s. The Bielefelder chicken first came imported to the United States in 2011. Again, they imported unrelated Bielefelder bloodlines in 2013 and 2017.
If you were to buy a single breed, the Bielefelder hands you the whole package from a single chicken. Along with some of these traits, Bielefelders act resistant to cold, and they have no motivation to fly. Many poultry farmers consider the Bielefelder the dual purpose breed which can give Orpingtons a run for their money! If you seek you shall find many distinguished advantages:
Large breed, Auto-sexing function, Gentle temperament, Beautiful feathers & Laying of the largest brown eggs.
This chicken breed has a large single comb, red earlobes and wattles. A lot of people like the Bielefelder because of its auto-sexing ability, which means that the females and the males hatch in different colors.
A male chick will have a white or yellow spot on its head when it hatches, and its colors will be lighter. The females will have a chipmunk stripe on their backs. This makes chicken sexing much easier than with some of the other breeds that don’t have this.
When the male chickens reach maturity, the complex feather pattern on them looks fascinating. You might compare it to the Cuckoo or a Partridge.
