    Gold pencilled hamburg rooster / silver spangled Hamburg hen

    My Hamkin boy grew to be a glorious cockerel with, gold pencilled with a Hamburg tail, Pekin feet and the most handsome combination of the two breeds in every other way ....... Unfortunately Mr Fox took a liking to him too and I lost him two weeks ago

    Any ideas on gender?

    My previous roosters got along fine from hatching to adolescence as they grew up together, once they were fully mature they were rehomed apart from two who lived together as batchelors until they were around 30 weeks.

    Any ideas on gender?

    Thank you, Ronnie and Reggie it is then! If they are anything like their father they will be huge! Fortunately I have had a great deal of success in finding good homes for my extra cockerels having rehomed 7 from my last years hatch.

    Gold pencilled hamburg rooster / silver spangled Hamburg hen

    Well, I put 6 eggs into the incubator of which 5 were fertile and 3 hatched. All the eggs were white and quite pointed as my Hamburg hen lays them. Here are two of the resulting chicks : However, it seems that one of my Pekin hens also lays a white pointed egg rather than the ligh brown...

    Any ideas on gender?

    These are my four month old chicks, the larger two are of mixed breed and look male to me and so much like their dad looked at that age so they are called Ronnie and Reggie for now. I'd love for it to be proved otherwise so I'd love some input. The Polish, Ziggy, was from a mail order...

    Hamburg rooster crowing at night!

    I have a lovely gold pencilled Hamburg rooster called Patch. He is 26 weeks old and has his own little flock of 3 hens. Recently he has been crowing at night and it seems more so if he sees signs of life from the house. It is just before 5am and I just had to get up and go downstairs for...

    Hamburg colours

    I have a 25 week old Gold pencilled Hamburg bantam roo running with a 25 week old silver spangled hamburg bantam hen. They are both gorgeous birds. I am wondering whether to hatch any of her eggs but I'm not sure what markings or colourings to expect. Has anyone experience of such a match? What...
