Hamburg thread!

[Parkmule]

I just sold my entire SSH flock. I loved them, but the heat here was too much. Anyone else have trouble with the Hamburgs and heat?
I was also working on a Chamois Hamburg project. It will still be going on, at their new home.
If anyone has a Chamois looking Hamburg I would be interested in eggs.
Here is a picture of my F1 project birds. I have F2 chicks right now. I'm hoping F2 loses the top hat and beard. But now I need some new blood in the mix.

The yellow ones are my F2s

I love the look of these birds but it seems.most people are raising bantams not lf? Is anybody on here working on SOP LF breed preservation?

I got mine from pourly poultry and they are great... mine free range, are very friendly at feeding time and standard size and out of all of my birds last year this is the only one that I have not lost a single bird! and the roo is super nice and beautiful! I am hatching eggs now... 2 SS Hamburg, and 3 s sussex.... they are under a sebright hen what a good mommy









The yellow one looks to be pure ss hamburg the other striped one in the front is from a s sussex egg father unknown but I do not have a sussex roo so it is a mix for sure... but looks just like my pure baby s sussex did at hatch... the two in the back... one is blue the other black both with coppery heads and green legs probably from my EE roo... one is from a ss hamburg egg the other a s sussex egg... one s sussex egg still to hatch

Where did these come from and/or do you sell eggs, chicks or adults?

I just found out that I have 3 Silver Spangled Hamburg chicks from Privett Hatchery! I'm really excited now

I got most of them from My Pet Chicken. None of the hens were show quality, by roo was very nice tho. I would not get them from MPC again. I would get them from Meyer Hatchery. I had someone give me two very nice hens and the roo I raised from one of my eggs.

I just sold the entire flock, but I do have chicks now, and eggs in the Incubator. But I should be able to get eggs from this flock, as they now belong to a friend. They are all molting right now, so it will be a little bit. Where are you? I am in CA.

Those pictures show beautiful birds ! Are they the ones that you do not have anymore. Just south of Death Valley I have only one gold spangled Hamburg and she tolerated heat as much as the other birds . The older that she get the prettier she looks.

Thanks... I did love them, and they were my best foragers, eating bugs!
They are in southern Cal now at a friend/biz partner's house. We can still get you chicks and/or eggs.
