If anyone has pics that would be nice also.

half as "not full"

What breed are your refering to that it is showing you half spangled? is it with laced birds or what ?

 

[Henk69]

It is a mixed color.
You could see "tooped" or halfmoon spangling on brabanters and owlbeard and such breeds.

And dosent it also have something to do with the incomplete lacing that you can get with crossing with laced breeds ? Like a lot of times on hatchery Wyandottes, their lacing looks more like spangles than lacing.

IT would help if you put it in a sentence. I think. It could mean that the bird is split for spangling, meaning one parent was. A bird with one spangled parent and one NOT spangled parent. But if that is what is meant, it should say Split for spangling.

I think it's like this, this is crossing a silver laced with a white hen...

Exactly.

Also a lot of "hatchery" type Spangled Hamburgs are Half-Spangled.
Either they don't have the spangling they need or they have way too much.....
One Example -
Each feathers on the breast of a Spangled Hamburg should end with a spangle.
A lot of hatchery Spangled Hamburg lack in spangling or have way to much Black in them and look more like a "Black Breasted" Spangled Hamburg than a Spangled Hamburg. Either way I believe that would make them a Half-Spangled.
