Hamburg

I have a pair of female silver spangled Hamburgs. They are really close to wild birds. They like to lay their eggs outside the coop in a corner away from everyone else. They attempt to roost right before sundown, so we have to be alert because they can jump really high, and like to try to roost on the fence! They are high fliers, so you must clip their wings. Pictures don't do them justice, there is a beautiful green sheen on their black polka dots. I find mine to be very friendly, and very busy. They have a loud call when they are excited about something, different from my other breeds of chickens. They lay small to medium eggs, and so far I get an egg either every day, or every other day from my pair. 

he crows a lot, & he is very aggressive sometimes, when he crows we say its Samuel L. Jackson yelling "what in the hell!!"

Hamburgs are really pretty.  I love heir paterns, colors, and tail.  They lay a beatiful (but tiny) white egg almost every day.  But they are very skittish and flighty.  Mine flew onto my roof! Lastly they are a little small which landed mine a place at the bottom of the pecking order! 

The hen that I have is very flighty but she's nice and calm. She lays great eggs but only about twice a week.

I love these guys. Bought a straight run from Meyer for my son for 4-H. Will be culling some roos this fall, but for now, these are the hardiest little chicks I've ever seen. They came out of the brooder at three weeks, and have been free ranging for a week now. Very good at sticking together in a tight flock, very self-reliant, and VERY opinionated as far as where they want to go and what they want to do. Haven't integrated with the rest of the flock yet. Sleep in our mulberry tree. Very spirited chickens. Love em.

My hamburg is beautiful but is so flighty and timid that she actually made herself into a target. It took almost a month for her to calm down enough for the big girls to accept her when we integrated the new girls in. She gives us about 4 eggs a week and so far hasn't stopped this year.

Beautifull Girls. They look like Dalmations ! Small and quick, they dont look like a classic chicken at all. But, they are awesome for diversity in your flock. They lay small white eggs, you cant handle them very easily, they are fast and tend to fly more then the others. They are great in confinement and are very alert when free ranging. Cold wether is not an issue for these girls. They are VERY clean and never have a feather thats dirty or out of place. The females that I have have very pretty tails that stick straight up in a straight line unlike the others who have spread out tail feathers.......Nice tight combs that never have any freeze issue no matter how cold it gets.

I LOVE my Hamburg rooster, Romeo!!! He is gorgeous, very gentle with all the girls, and eats from my hand.  They all free range and I chose him as he is a great forager, and able to escape predators easier than heavy breeds.  I try to give him special treats, and he happily takes them, but then ALWAYS gives them to one of his gals ~ very sweet.  He keeps such an eye on the whereabouts of the flock and if one is too far off, he runs like mad, fusses at her, and brings her back, every time!  Great birds!

All I know is they are a must for me. I want some so please contact me
