I am happy with how Spot is settling in. On her first evening I herded her towards the patio area before dusk so that she would settle somewhere near the chicken shed rather than perching out in the run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night I went out a little bit later than the night before and Spot was settled on the chicken shed roof. Although she hadn’t found her way in, it’s early days yet, I was encouraged that she was heading in the right direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It made it easy for me to lift her from the chicken shed roof and put her on the side perch like I did the night before. I expect it will take a little while of doing this before she gets the hang of going in herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I would give a bit of information about bantam hamburgs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamburgs have a german name but are generally considered to have originated in Holland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are active, flighty birds. They are good egg producers of small white eggs and start laying at about six months old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They rarely ever go broody and are very cold hardy. They have a rose comb and no feathers on their feet or legs which are a slate blue colour. They come in many feather colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would add, now having spot, that they have big feet and long legs and a fairly long neck. She reminds me of a smaller version of a game bird. She is also very speedy. In size Spot is in between Flame and the seramas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think Spot is the perfect addition to our flock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
