Wow I love the gold-white spangled and the buff-black columbian. Wish those colors were here in the US!On a Dutch site I found more colours as the 3 described by Sumi. And even bantams.

My little Spitzhauben hen Beatrix is the loudest chicken I have ever had. She walks around squawking and yelling, and even screams like a parrot at times. Her mom and aunt were loud, but not like Trixie.. And I am currently raising 2 of her daughters and so far they are quiet.I have two of these hens and they are BY FAR the loudest hens I have ever had. I've even had people ask "what kind of rooster is that". They make this crazy almost crowing long sound and just love to chat it up. Lord forbid if one has to jump up on a fence- the entire pasture hears about it in the squabble and bobble.
That said, they really do look like little dalmation chickens with a poofy head. Super unique and I enjoy having them for the 10 minutes a day they're not making noise.
I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain the gold spangled ones are the chamois spitzies. @Alaskan breeds those.Wow I love the gold-white spangled and the buff-black columbian. Wish those colors were here in the US!
She truly was a beauty. She had it all!I was going through my pics and found one of my pretty Spitzie. She was gorgeous and our daughter trained her to come when called and land on her arm.
Gold spangled are bright gold with black spots.I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain the gold spangled ones are the chamois spitzies. @Alaskan breeds those.
That is interesting.I have 4 hens and did have 1 roo. Roo is gone. Hens are VERY NOISY. They don’t tolerate heat well. And all four go broody and fight over one nest box. I do not like this breed. They are also on the small side.
