Silver Penciled Hamburgs are a rare and refined heritage breed known for their intricate feather patterning. Each feather features fine, precise striping—referred to as “penciling”—giving these birds a clean, polished, and highly distinctive appearance.

⚠️ These birds are NOT to be confused with Silver Spangled Hamburgs. Silver Penciled Hamburgs are significantly rarer and far less commonly available, making them a prized addition for serious poultry keepers and breeding programs.

This variety is valued not only for its rarity, but also for its active nature and efficient foraging ability. They are ideal for those looking to hatch and raise a unique, heritage-quality bird from the very beginning.

FAQ

Are these the same as Silver Spangled Hamburgs?

No. These are Silver Penciled Hamburgs, a much rarer variety with fine striping rather than spangled markings.

What is the expected fertility rate?

Fertility rates can vary based on incubation practices, handling, and environmental conditions. While we maintain carefully managed breeder flocks, hatch success cannot be guaranteed due to factors outside our control.

How should I handle hatching eggs after delivery?

Allow eggs to rest for 12–24 hours at room temperature before incubation to improve hatch success.

When will chicks hatch?

Typical incubation time is approximately 21 days.

Are Silver Penciled Hamburgs beginner-friendly?

They are best suited for keepers who understand active, flighty breeds and can provide adequate space.

Please review all of our applicable polices on our Policies page prior to making your purchase. You will also be required to acknowledge these policies at checkout.
Due to current USPS policies, hatching eggs ship via Priority Mail at standard USPS rates plus the following required USPS fees:
$15 Live Animal (including live embryos) and Perishable Handling Fee
$0.20 per pound Live Animal Transportation Fee

These fees are assessed by USPS and are required for the shipment of live developing embryos.
In addition, we charge the cost of closed-cell shipping foam used to safely protect your eggs during transit.

Why We Use Closed-Cell Foam Instead of Bubble Wrap
Precision Fit: Each egg is secured in an individual cavity to prevent shifting.
Superior Shock Absorption: Consistent protection from all sides.
Reduced Impact Damage: Helps protect air cells and internal membranes.
Minimized Vibration Movement: Less internal stress during long-distance transport.
Higher Arrival Success Rates: Designed specifically for hatching egg shipments.

While no shipped egg can be guaranteed due to postal handling, temperature fluctuations, or incubation variables outside our control, our packaging method is selected to give your eggs the best possible chance of arriving safely.

By completing your purchase, you acknowledge and accept these required USPS shipping fees and packaging standards.
At Overr Eazy Farm LLC, we operate our farm in addition to full-time careers. Because of this, our availability for chick and hatching egg pickups can be limited.

If you have specific scheduling needs, please contact us before placing your order to confirm a pickup time that works for both parties. We are happy to accommodate when possible, but advance communication is essential to ensure a smooth pickup experience.

Please note that orders not picked up within 72 hours of the scheduled pickup time may be subject to price adjustments to cover additional feed, care, or holding costs unless arrangements were made with us in advance.
