Hamburgs?

I got them from a local who "imports" (ships) them in from a breeder in MN that I've heard of quite a bit, his name escapes me until I hear it. Here are some pics of one of the chicks.

Breeder in MN, would that be Duane Urch? He raises Golden Spangled Hamburgs.

Ha!!! I knew if someone said the name I'd recall it!! He also raises LF RC RIR's, right? I know he told me what color these are, but I forgot already and my daughter is at a friends, she'd remember, are these Golden Spangled?

Yes and yes he does raise RIRs.

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 1 Golden Spangled Hamburg what a beauty - always looking for a new adventure, very curious and smart.
