Silver spangled Hamburgs???? Hard to tell without a pic. I assume they had slighter builds rather than a heavy build like you would see on a Wyandotte or Rock....

Yes slighter built. I looked up that breed and they look just like thos. I really do think they are Hamburgs. Can You or anyone give me info on the breed? lol

I think they've been accurately identified from your description.
Hamburgs are a medium sized bird & are good layers ofmedium white eggs. As someone else said they do tend to be flighty but with some handling they should calm down rather quickly.
They are one of the most striking of all the domestic breeds of chickens. They are particularly attractive out on grass where their black & white colouration really stands out.
