Purely Poultry is excited to offer the Silver Spangled Hamburg Chicks, a striking breed that perfectly combines elegance with practicality. Originating from the Netherlands, these birds are instantly recognizable for their distinctive spangled feathers, with a dazzling white base complemented by dramatic black spots, giving them a unique Dalmatian-like appearance. These birds have been admired for generations, having been recognized by the American Standard of Perfection in 1874, making them a historic breed with a proud heritage.

Beyond their captivating looks, Silver Spangled Hamburgs are known for their active and lively temperament. These birds thrive in free-range environments, where their natural foraging instincts can shine. Their energetic and flighty nature makes them perfect for poultry keepers who value self-sufficient, hardy birds. Their slim, upright build, along with features like their rose comb, round white earlobes, and red wattles, adds to their refined appearance. Their subtle, grayish shanks complete the graceful look, making them a standout in any flock or poultry show.

In addition to their ornamental beauty, Silver Spangled Hamburgs are exceptional egg layers, producing more than 200 medium white eggs each year. Hens are known for their productivity, and while they occasionally go broody, their primary focus remains on reliable egg production. Weighing in at around 5 pounds for roosters and 4 pounds for hens, Silver Spangled Hamburgs are an excellent size for a versatile dual-purpose breed, balancing both form and function.

Recognized by the American Poultry Association and part of the Continental Class, these birds bring a blend of history, utility, and striking looks to any flock.
