Chicken Chickens Cock Hamburgh Poultry 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1919, showcases a pair of Hamburgh Cocks and Hens, a rare and historic breed of poultry. The Hamburgh, also known as the Hamburg, is an old English breed that originated in the city of Hamburg, Germany, around the 16th century. The breed was brought to England in the late 1800s and gained popularity for its unique appearance and excellent egg-laying abilities. The Hamburgh Cock in this image is characterized by its large, broad body, deep chest, and distinctive feathered legs and feet. The Hen, on the other hand, is smaller in size but shares the same heavy, broad body and feathered legs. Both birds have dense, fluffy feathers that give them a plump and rounded appearance. Their feathers come in various shades of black, white, and blue, with some birds exhibiting intricate feathered patterns. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of poultry breeding. The Hamburgh Cock and Hen were once a common sight on farms and in backyards, but their numbers have dwindled due to the rise of industrialized farming and the popularity of modern breeds. Today, they are considered a rare and endangered breed, making this image all the more precious. The photograph also highlights the strong bond between the Cock and Hen, as they stand close to each other, displaying their proud and regal demeanor. The Hamburgh Cocks were known for their protective nature towards their hens, making them excellent guardians for the flock. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but it also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the history and diversity of our agricultural heritage. The Hamburgh Cock and Hen may no longer be a common sight, but their legacy lives on through images like this one.
