I am sorry about your roo.
He reminds me of my favorite roo Will Wheaton (Blue isbar and BCM mix) I got him from eggs from Simone. He was beautiful and I lost him to a dog attack-

I am looking for more blues and need to set up my breeding crew. Here is what I have:
Rooster is my black with silver coloration.
This is my black rooster with gold coloring (He is featured in the back of the silver pics too)
This is my blue rooster. He got a lot of...
I was chuckling when I read this!
Thanks for your feedback. I am going to give them a look over. I may need some more first import eggs from you. I knew I should have bid harder on those auctions!
Okay- I need to set up my breeding pens for my Isbars and I need some help in figuring out who to mate:
I would like a whole flock of blues and splash if possible.
Am I looking at this correctly?
Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Splash X...
I have to tell you my Isbars are outlaying anything in my flock right now. By far! Beautiful green eggs...some speckled. I really have a fondness for them! They are little powerhouses of eggs!
My blue isbar that hatched out at the end of September just laid her first little egg...I have not even set them up to lay yet...They are in the babies house~ LOL. I guess they are not such babies anymore...and it was 20 degrees here! Very pleased.
I received my blue isbar hen and my black isbar hen on 2/19. My Blue gal started laying in early August and my black one end of August. So, around six months of age.
There is a breeder in Ohio that has some blue isbar chicks up for auction on rarebreeds.com http://www.rarebreedauctions.com/auction_details.php?auction_id=132641&option=item_watch
If you've got a hona much more rare than the isbar. I paid 3x as much for my hona's then I did my isbars. However, My they all live together.
Shoot the legs and feet for us..
Looks like a Cemani cockerel...or hona. They start showing comb formation in the first couple weeks. Are the legs dark and feet dark...that will rule out more of the isbar showing.
