According to some English authorities Hamburgs were a British race of fowls bred in the north of England for centuries. Con- sidering the constant communication between the island and the continent, it may well be that, though bred in England for several hundred years, they were of foreign origin, and the stock perhaps kept up by fre- quent importations. Certainly a comparison of the color pat- terns of fowls as developed in different parts of Europe indi- cates that these varieties must have originated where all the other novel styles of markings did. English breeders and fan- ciers may be credited with hav- ing improved and perfected these markings and also those of the penciled varieties, but it seems altogether improbable that they originated them.
