What a SHAME!!!!!! They are my personal favorites.... mine are excelent at evading predation and will still fly to sit on my shoulder when I feed them....

WELL if anyone knows of some larger citron bantam lines PLEASE let me know... I may just have to start my OWN PROJECT!!!!!!!!

I'm a newbie to Hamburgs. Lost a couple & concerned I might have lost my cockerels as they all appear the same. Can anyone tell me how/what age it is possible to tell the difference between sexes of gold penciled . Mine are ~5 weeks old.
Thanks !

You should post some pics and i can try to tell you what i think!

I can't post pics at this time as between computers & haven't gotten the quirks out of my new set up yet. But I am wondering if anyone can tell me what age I can distinguish between sexes of gold penciled as so I still can order some cockerels this season before they are impossible to get. I won't have an problem telling them apart,just need to know if I should gamble & wait,or just order more cockerels if it will be a long wait.....They are a beautiful bird & am trying a few from hatchery to see what I think. Then will look for better quality stock if I like the breed under my climate conditions.............
Thanks !

Hi guys!

I got 7 Silver Spangled Hamburg chicks at the chicken auction last weekend.
They look to be about 10 days old.
I'm new to the breed, but thought they were pretty.
I know some people weed out the ones they think are roos and sell them off at auction as straight run.
Anyone have any tips for determining sex in chicks?
I know wait a couple months and compare comb and wattles, but didn't know if there were any coloration clues like there are with several other breeds.

THANKS!!!
