The elegant Hamburgs are petite and active--and they are an old,
traditional breed whose origin goes back hundreds of years. In both
England
and Holland, they were such faithful layers that a common
name for them is "the Dutch Everyday Layer."
Silver Spangled Hamburgs are quite small--slightly larger than the Golden Pencilled variety--but still nearly bantam in size. Their feathers
are silvery white, each with a black spangle on the end, giving them a fun, polka-dotted appearance. Hamburg with the Silver Spangled pattern have also been called "Moonies" and "Crescents" due to their unique plumage!
Like other Hamburgs, Silver Spangleds are high fliers and can jump fences and
enclosures! Hamburgs eat little to produce their prolific numbers of
small to medium white eggs, so they cost less to feed than many other
breeds. Their rose comb makes them tolerant of cold, as well. They are
simply wonderful all-around homesteading birds, and they rarely go
broody.
These gorgeous
birds from quality lines have rose
combs, white ear lobes and blue legs. They are excellent small birds
for the home flock for those wanting efficient and economical layers.
