spitzhauben

Retired and after having just a few chickens, I am now up to 24 and looking at a few different ones for next spring…going for the colors of eggs variety so I can sell at the farmers markets and WOW people with the choices! It is surprising to me when talking to others that they have no idea that...

I had an awful bobcat massacre that wiped out half of my flock, so we were so excited that one of our remaining eggs hatched. I have no idea what breed she is as we have a few unique guys if you could lend a hand! My roosters were a silver laced polish and a white silkie. My hens were either...

Hello! We recently started raising chicks. The first batch is a happy, healthy group of four, still super friendly and cuddly at 12 weeks old. The second batch is a group of nine and although they seem to be thriving so far, I have a few concerns. Firstly, the Spitzhauben chick seems to be...

Our 4 month old AS needs a name! I have added his ‘baby’ pictures and one from today. Some of our ladies are called ‘Nugget, Parm, Orange, Popcorn, Butterball…’. We have a chicken food theme 😂

Hi everyone! We have a beautiful Appenzeller Spitzhauben that’s around 10 weeks old. I’m almost convinced it’s a female, but it has some questionable behavior at times. 🤷‍♀️ I’m hoping this is just a breed trait, but what do you think based on the photos? Not the most cooperative bird while...

Hello all! Below is a picture of our 15 week old Spitzhauben “Cayenne Pepper”. Dad is a gold Spitzhauben. Mom is a silver Spitzhauben. we have read that offspring of this color combination produces a sex linked chick. Judging by the color, hes gold like dad, but he’s (?) not showing much in...

I numbered them all to make it more clear on your opinions of each there are 12 babies from chicken scratch poultry ❤ They’re 6 weeks old !

Started out with six chicks. The Spitzhauben is definitely a rooster as he has attempted to crow at a very young age (about four weeks). The other two show roo characteristics from what I’m reading. Fingers crossed that I’m wrong or if I’m not wrong, we stop at three roos 😔. I have two Easter...

Hello everyone. My name is Diana and I just picked up my chicks yesterday. I have 6 total (fingers crossed for all females). I have 2 Easter eggs, 2 Spitzhauben’s, and 2 Svarthona’s. I currently have them in a spacious tall tote with a feeder and an ice cube tray with rocks and warm water. I...

I just put a picture of a Spitzhauben on my FB timeline. Can’t figure out how to put it from there to here. Timeline is Carole Crate

Ok so to start I have NEVER owned chickens. Im trying to gather as much info as I can before building the enclosure for the 4 spitzhauben chicks I was given. Ive been reading a lot about how this breed likes its space and while I can't completely free range because of predators, I was thinking...

All 5 of my Spitz chicks have been very flighty and skittish, up until a couple days ago. This little one has become very curious with me, and it looks as though it has some pink in its tiny little wattles. Thoughts? It’ll be 3 weeks old on Friday. Single comb chicks are so much easier to sex!!

I have 3 Silver Appenzeller Spitzhauben roosters. The are beautiful and healthy. Location is Bisbee, AZ. Please message me if you are interested.

This is Paco, my Light Brahma Rooster. We got him from a friend at a few months old after our rooster, Pollo, grew mean. He has six Light Brahma hens in his flock and is the sweetest guy! He loves to eat out of your hand and pouts if he does not get to, loves to talk to people, and is a super...

I am soon going to have gold laced sebrights and gold spangled bantam appenzeller spitzhauben. While i want to breed the sebrights towards the sop, i also want to try my own project. That would be creating a small, gold laced and crested (hopefully crest will remain of the spitzhauben type). I...

I am in search of a Silver Spitzhauben Appenzeller Rooster. We are in Central Florida and lost alot of birds during hurricane Irma. I had several of my Silkies and frizzled Cochins drown in their coops. Lost a bunch of our "eating" egg layers and 3 of my Appenzellers which included my roosters...
