Description: These Silver Spangled Hamburg bantams are a little slice of Americana and a piece of Oregon poultry history. It feels like a lifetime ago that Jim LeGendre was raising these in the southern Willamette Valley and bringing a string of them to area shows. Our friend Thomas purchased his original stock from Jim and has continued that line unbroken. This is a wonderful line of birds, with excellent type, size, and calm demeanor. They have been selected for highly refined spangling and refined head points. I have to say that European breeds often get a bad rap for being flighty, but these birds are inquisitive and easy to be around and should be easily cage-trained for exhibition.
Pricing: Silver Spangled Hamburg pairs are priced at $300. Box and shipping in the lower 48 states runs $135. The total cost for the birds with shipping and box is $435.
Recognition: Silver Spangled Hamburg bantams are recognized for exhibition by both the APA and the ABA.
Shipping season: Silver Spangled Hamburg bantams generally ship the end of October through the end of May, depending on availability. Pick up at the farm by the buyer or their trusted courier can be arranged year-round.
Silver Spangled Hamburg Bantam Pair
We take great pride in shipping the vey best birds available. When you purchase from Blue Hour you have the confidence of purchasing from breeders with fifty years or more of experience breeding and selecting standard-bred fowl. We guarantee the birds are true to breed standard, healthy, and shipped using USPS approved boxes. We generally ship on Mondays and Tuesdays. Birds ship USPS Express Mail out of Portland, Oregon. If you would like to pick up at the farm or arrange courier pick up we can work with you to arrange a pick up date. Birds are normally shipped the end of October through the end of May. We do not ship during the summer months due to heat, though pick up at the farm can be arranged year-round.
We put a great deal of effort into making sure the birds we ship are healthy, boxed in USPS approved shipping boxes, and are packed with a source of moisture to reduce travel stress. Birds are shipped FOB Origin meaning the buyer takes ownership of the birds once they leave our hands. We recommend that you contact your local post office and ask them to call you as soon as the birds arrive, and add electrolytes to your birds’ drinking water upon arrival. Limit their feed for the first day. Travel is a stressor so it can take some time for birds to settle into their new environment. We do not offer a shipping refund for delayed arrival. The USPS offers $100 insurance per parcel in the event of loss. If you experience the loss of bird in transit you may request the insurance refund, if you choose to, via the USPS website. This purchase is not refundable.
