Isbar thread

[DCchicken]

Is this an Isbar? I lost a few legbands on some chicks and I cant tell if this is a hedemora or an isbar. I have had a black birchen Isbar from this bloodline so I'm at a loss.

Hedemora. Isbars do not have feathered shanks. Of course, Hedemora are all landrace, so anything goes with them.

Weeeellll, that was my first impression too. But someone else posted a pic asking if Isbars can have feathered legs (which I know is not SUPPOSED to be the case), and then I got to wondering if there might be a little "oops" floating around in the gene pool.

2 questions: is this a boy or a girl ( they are 5-6 weeks)? Is this a single comb?

This is a boy and a girl from the same hatch as above.

Seperate question: is this blue or splash?

No that is not a single comb. I can't say what gender this bird is. The waddles are very small so I would guess pullet.

I have a pullet that looks exactly like this one. She is 3.5 months old and still looks exactly like your bird.

Pea comb and most likely male by the color. Also not an Isbar but it could just be genetic defect and would normally be culled. Definitely tag the chick and do not breed.

Edited to correct. I was thinking about my Marsh Daisy at the time. This is a pea comb.
