Hamburgs or Hamburghs
a.k.a. Hollands Hoens
A Silver Spangled Hamburg cock
This breed used to be called the Hollands Hoen (Dutch Fowl), and still is in The Netherlands. All Hamburgs have rose combs. The breed appears in more than 10 varieties, of which the Pencilled forms (originally developed in Holland) are the smallest, the Spangled forms (probably originating in England) intermediate in size, and the Self-colored birds the largest.
To decrease load time, Hamburg chicks have their own page.
