Chicken Breed Focus - Hamburg

You've got that right!

Haha!

I'm well acquainted with that hysterical molting stage. Alex isn't looking too great at the moment herself!

Lol! I know the feeling.

We've also wondered about this. We keep our Hamburgs in a separate coop because of this. Our other roos are very large compared to the girls and I fear that they might cause damage to the Hamburg hens while treading. If I get a roo that isn't TOO much larger I might attempt it, but it would have to be the right breed and the right size. 

I love my Hamburgs, they are small compared to a lot of breeds, but that is part of their charm, so I don't feel the need to experiment at the expense of the girls. 

yeah, that's understandable. Wouldn't want to hurt one of the girls! Can't help but wonder what they would come out like if you mixed them with a light brahma though! Maybe if the Hamburg was the cock... Although... Dunno if he could manage to climb aboard! Hah!

Lol! Right!

I'll bet that would be a beautiful combination!

I am very partial to black and white chickens. I have some mottled houdan about 12 weeks old and I have ordered some silver spangled hamburgs, silver spitzhauben and silver laced polish. I think I will be happy with them. Plenty of eye candy to enjoy.

Does anyone have any Red Hamburgs? I got one form the local feed store. I can't find any pictures of what she'll look like. Thanks for any help!

Are they color sexable day old?

While I've owned LF Hamburg in the past, bantam Hamburgs truly have stolen my heart. The hen is actually.....please try to believe me.....sweet. Not a wild bone in her little body. If you can get your hands on a few, I completely recommend it.

I read the title too quickly and thought it said “the humbug”. I came here to read about Scrooge chickens. I appreciate the beautiful chickens though!

This Hamburg we recieved as a surprise chick order from Murray McMurray and once we figured what it was,we planned on giving him away but he's turned out to be a gentleman and we'll probably order some hens in the spring to accomodate him.
Great looking bird.

This is my younger sister holding our only Silver spangled Hamburg cockerel, Kermit AKA Kermie Worm. He came as the mystery chick in my order of 8 Easter Eggers from Mcmurray’s. He’s a teenager at the moment, but he sure is a beauty. I’m thinking about getting him some Hamburg ladies!
