My Isbars all live in with my egg flock (only white and brown layers in there and no other roos). I thought they were all on strike, hadn't gotten an egg in days. We've been having this terrible heat wave all week. Last night I happened to look in the corner of the coop on the floor and...

I personally don't use it in my waterers, only for disinfecting hatching equipment and in the water in my incubators/hatchers. They are the perfect environment for growing bacteria otherwise. I've actually also been experimenting with curing a case of nail fungus with it. If you've ever had...

What he means by that is a vaccinated bird with Marek's will not show symptoms and then will be a carrier of Marek's (same with a bird that has recovered from Marek's). I don't believe he is implying there is a problem with previous generations having received vaccine. Also, "most silkies...

I don't vaccinate either and my original hatching eggs also came from Mary.

That's always a possibility with a rare breed. I would think if the problem were all inbreeding, I'd be having problems with my F2's and so far I haven't. I've hatched about ten for myself (2-3 here and there), the oldest now are about ready to move in with the adults.

Rinda, Like I mentioned I did have the same problem with the first Isbars I hatched out. Sudden chick death for no apparent reason. But I haven't had the problem when hatching my own eggs. I did send eggs off to someone and they haven't mentioned a problem either. It will be very...

Mom and Dad look fine, but I'd say those chicks are only around two weeks old, at most.

Congratulations on the new eggs! Come on Nemo She's a beautiful pullet!

Isbars don't have muffs. I'd say that's an EE. Pretty bird though. I'd watch egg color on all of them. The color is quite distinctive with Isbars.

It's a little hard to tell from your picture, but the two isbar pullets I have right now are older and have no wattle or comb development yet.

Mine were a full year old before they started to lay. It should be soon for you. I have hatching eggs right now.

Mine took close to a year to start laying, very stubborn girls.

I hatched my first Isbar chick from my own eggs! It's a cute little blue. Hope it's a girl, I need more girls. Can't answer your genetics question, although I do own all the breeds your discussing. I do have an Isbar roo in with my mixed egg laying flock, so he's covering brown and white...

Beautiful..............congratulations!

I've got my first three Isbar pullet eggs as of yesterday..............................they just might find their way into an incubator later today.

Look who FINALLY gave it up.......................my first Isbar egg! Deb

My CCL that are a month younger laid their first eggs today!!!! So now it's the Isbar girl's turns. Deb
