Hamburg
Hamburgs are a delightful breed known in England as the "Dutch Everyday Layers". Not only are they a beautiful breed to show, they're prolific layers of smallish white eggs that fare very well in cold weather. They really appreciate the chance to run around, so we don't recommend Hamburgs if you can't let your flock range freely at least part of the time.
