I love my Spitzhauben, they are the funniest of all my birds. But if you don't want birds that fly out of the run - these aren't for you! I found that these fly higher and further than any of my other birds. They refuse to lay eggs in the boxes. They fly out and we play find the eggs every day. They don't wander very far, they just like to be on the other side of the fence from the rest.Will be following
Is there any interest here in hatching eggs of Silver Spitzhauben for the New Year Hatchathon ? I have show quality parent birds - young hens - so I have to plan very carefully about egg promises !!!
Here is a club pic of a hen - winter hardy - white eggs - sweet with other birds - active, so not too cuddly. Full sized but smaller bird - comprable to a leghorn
