The bielefelder kennhuhn is a domestic chicken breed that in the 1970s by Gerd Roth from Amrocks , Mechel Africans , New Hampshire and Rhode countries was bred. The name Kennhuhn comes from the fact that the rooster chicks and the hen chicks have differently drawn feathers and can therefore be recognized on the first day of life. The cockchick shows a light brown stripe on the back and a white sparrowhawk spot on the head on a yellow downy ground. The hen chick, on the other hand, is light brown with deep dark brown, almost black stripes on the back and a small sparrowhawk spot on the center of the head.
history
The domestic chicken breed Bielefelder Kennhuhn was bred by Gerd Roth and in 1976 in Hanover for the first time as a new breed "Deutsches Kennhuhn" presented to the Association of German Breed Poultry Breeders (BDRG). The objections of the special associations were directed against the designation Deutsches Kennhuhn. The breeding committee gave the recommendation to find a local or regional name. The new breed was named "Bielefelder Kennhühner" because of the ties to the Bielefeld City Association through the breeder's board activities. With the breed name "Bielefelder Kennhühner" the path of this chicken is clearly mapped out after the breeding committee of the BDRG has accepted this name. In 1980 it was fully recognized by the breeding committee of the BDRG. Four years later, after repeated presentations at federal shows, the dwarf breed was recognized as Bielefeld dwarf kennel .
