These are one of the snappiest, most alert breeds on the poultry list. Of rather small size, with light but sweeping, graceful outlines, they are elegant and beautiful. They have a kind of bright cheerfulness about them when foraging over open range and they love this kind of situation. Their origin goes back beyond the memory of man in both England and Holland and they were such prolific layers of white eggs that a common name for them was "the Dutch Everyday Layer." Although egg size is medium they are small eaters and cost less to keep than most breeds. The lustrous greenish black spangles on silvery white plumage give them a perky polkadot look. With neat rose combs, white ear lobes, leaden blue shanks and toes, these are excellent small birds for both beauty and utility. Baby chicks are a silver gray with parallel dark and light stripes on the back.

My Hamburg rooster is really a beautiful bird. The kids love to pick him up and hold him and he just lets them. Thank you McMurray for sending me a great mystery bird.
 
 
We own an absolutely beautiful Silver Spangled Hamburg rooster we call Spangle. He is definetly the most nervous chicken in the flock, though we manage to catch him, he is very gentle. He is just gorgeous! This variety would be very nice for show. It would also be great for fly tyers, to. I'm thinking about ordering some more of these great chickens for 4-H this year. I can't praise their beauty enough!
 
 
Our Silver Spangled Hamburgs are growing like crazy! They are very alert birds and are as happy as can be on free range! They are becoming beautiful birds, who eat less than our others! Almost full grown, they are a bit more nervous than the others, but they will come and climb up on my leg and roost there for a while! I love them to death! -Laura M in Eastford, CT
