i read it on my pet chickens. guess there info aint to acurate.

They don't sell Citron Spangled Hamburg bantams do they?

Dont think so but I think it depends on the birds themselves. Most of them we know on BYC, it is not the case. They were happy and healthy in smaller areas.

I'm thinking of adding three Hamburg females to my flock of five hens. Don't know if I'd start with baby chicks or older pullets. I'm not sure about it, though, because I'm afraid the Hamburgs would get bullied too much. I've heard that this breed is not only small, but also not terribly assertive. Can anyone tell me about their experience integrating Hamburgs into a mixed flock? My flock aren't very aggressive and currently get along well, though I do worry that the two Exchequer Leghorn pullets I added back in June would give any newcomers a run for their money.

I have Buckeyes, Barred rocks, and a Golden comet that are all hatched in March. My Hamburgs were hatched the end of May. And yes, they are pushed around a lot. I keep everybody separate most of the time. In a couple months they should be big enough to hold their own.
