You are quite right. I should have realized that, but will blame this silly cold for clouding my thinking of the obvious! Ugh.

Cjwaldon, how are your Legbar x 55 crosses doing? Any photo updates. Are they laying yet? I am curious what color ears they have. (My legbar x Welsummer have minimal differences in appearance, but have red ears making it easy to know they are not CLB.)

I know this thread is old but I have one thing to add and one question. For assembly help, check out YouTube. Cackle Hatchery has a great series of 3 videos that made assembly much easier than the included instructions! Second, talk to me about deep cleaning this devil between sets of chicks. I...

Jump over to the Silverudd’s Blue (Isbar) thread for details on this cross.

I will be interested to see how they grow and lay. I am curious if they will be like a Super Blue Layer or Sapphire due to a white egg x blue egg.

Has anyone crossed a 55 Flowery with a Crested Cream Legbar? I am curious how the offspring appear and how the eggs are.

Does anyone have pictures of your grown ICB or eggs laid by ICB hens?

Here are mine currently. The "is he or isn't he a splash?" cockerel is starting to look more splash like. i think he is pretty, but he certainly does not have the clear splash look that yours have, Cree57i. Then I have blue cockerels 1 & 2. I think they are coming along nicely. Also, my...

Cree57i, how old are these? I LOVE the first hen! Wow. Thanks for sharing! I think seeing pictures can be helpful in learning more about SB and what we should be striving toward.

Thanks, orrpeople. I had heard those things too. That is why I am thinking these must be GFF second import line. They came in a pure breed heritage mix box. I was hoping for some genetic diversity from the grow outs I have. My grow outs are first import. Sadly, I think if these hatch, I will...

Just received 5 Silverudd's Blue hatching eggs. YAY! I think they might be 2nd import based upon the color. I tried to get a good picture, but they are so hard to photograph! In the first picture they are the second row from the left, in the third picture they are the ones circled in green. One...

It is always nice to see pictures of SB's as I feel they're extremely under recognized. I know they will be appreciated here. Here are some progress pictures on my May babies. The last round of pictures we established I have two blue cockerels and one maybe splash maybe light silvery blue...

Another question on feather color, should a black have a green sheen or be more a flat black?

Cree57i and livhatcher, I think blue too. Is a very light silver blue looked down upon in SB? Orrpeople, she is pretty. This is the closest I have seen to the color mine is on another SB, but mine doesn't have the dark tips at the point. Breeder claims her lines are 1st import. I sadly ended up...

A little update pic on the splash or blue...it is so much lighter in color than my other two blue Roos, but it is not white. There are the odd darker and lighter feathers. I wish he photographed better as he is a beautiful light silver. Any thoughts now?
