Does anyone keep Hamburgs (I have a few in the incubator)?

[playingchicken]

I am just curious. I am hoping and praying that the two eggs (day 19) I have in my bator are going to hatch. They are supposed to be golden penciled.

I would like to try my hand at hatching a few more of these but I only know my one eBay seller as a source.

I was hoping there was someone I could keep in mind for the future when I want some more eggs/chicks.
Thanks.

Only have one breed of Hamburg, Silver Spangled. Have you searched for a Hamburg club and asked them for a source?

i have just purchased my first set of hamburgs, the silver spangled variety. They are the smallest of all the standards I purchased and seem to be ver sprightly. I read that they are good layers and have good feed-egg ratio, so im very interested to see how this goes. Good luck on your hatch.

skennedy,
I will check into a breed club. (I was hoping for a good backyard breeder from here though.

)

Jenlyn,
I have read they are good flyers as well so watch out!

Jim LaGendre is a wonderful gentleman to deal with. I bought two pairs of Hamburg bantams from him and they were wonderful and beautiful!

He can show you of different breeders in the US!
