I am raising my first batch of Spitzhauben chicks and I am so impressed with them. They are friendly, trusting, and intelligent. The chicks figure out what to do in each new situation and don't make a fuss. On a recent segment of PBS's P. Allen Smith, he did a show on heritage breeds, spending part of it with a breeder of these chickens. She said, I've never had an aggressive rooster.
I have read that they are excellent free rangers, excellent egg layers. View attachment 1306989

I will add to this review as mine grow up.

My Spitzhaubens are now 7 months old. I am still in love with this breed. I have 3 left after selling 2 cockerels. The cockerel is polite and takes care of his ladies. The 2 pullets are little egg laying machines, rarely a day goes by without 2 of their eggs. I hope to raise more!
