Poultry breeds photos: The Hamburgh

The name of the Hamburgh goes back to the early 1840s and there appears to be no traceable contact with the city in Germany of the same name. Two of the colours, the blacks and spangles, are accepted to have originated in the English counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire, having various names, hundreds of years ago. The pencilled variety appears to have come from Holland, and the bantam version of the breed was developed later, in the 1900s. The Hamburgh is a graceful fowl and very attractive in all varieties, with the rose comb and white lobe adding the final touches. The Hamburgh is a prolific layer of white eggs and an excellent forager.
