The Hamburg was developed in Germany and Holland and dates back to almost the 1600's. It is classed as a small breed with the cockerels only weighing up to 5lb and the females up to 4lb. The Silver Spangled Hamburg is always a show stopper with broad strokes of black and white plumage that looks as if it has been painted on! We have had very good hatching experiences with our lovely quartet consisting of one cockerel running with 3 hens.
