Golden Spitzhauben Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to offer the Golden Spitzhauben Chickens, a rare and captivating breed that hails from the scenic valleys of Switzerland. With their rich golden plumage and spangled black pattern, these chickens bring a striking visual appeal to any flock. Known as Switzerland’s national bird, the Golden Spitzhauben is a cherished breed, admired not only for its beauty but also for its unique traits, such as the forward-pointing crest and horn-like comb, which set them apart from other poultry breeds.

Beyond their distinctive appearance, Golden Spitzhaubens are excellent layers, producing between 220 and 280 small to medium white eggs per year. Their reliable egg production makes them a practical choice for backyard enthusiasts who are looking for both beauty and productivity in their flock. Despite their somewhat petite size, with roosters weighing about 5 pounds and hens around 4 pounds, these chickens are lively and energetic, often displaying their flighty nature in free-range environments.

Golden Spitzhauben Chickens are particularly well-suited to cooler climates, thanks to their hardy nature, making them an adaptable choice for a variety of backyard setups. Their occasional broodiness and active personalities add a touch of fun and dynamism to the flock, and their foraging abilities make them efficient at finding their own food when given space to roam.

Though not yet officially recognized by the American Poultry Association, the Golden Spitzhauben is highly regarded by poultry enthusiasts for its rarity and elegant charm. Whether you are an experienced chicken keeper or a beginner looking for something special, these birds are sure to stand out and bring a touch of Swiss heritage to your flock.
