LOL! Sorry, but I was actually surprised with how mine turned out and I thought I was pretty good at identifying it because I was correct with my others....so "it's" name is Issy...turned out to be appropriate for is he a boy or a girl??? But now I now the answer. Just hatched 8 babies, 2...
My Isbars are very friendly...they eat out of my hand and come running to me when I go to the coop....because they think I have treats. Mine have been very good layers. My best rooster is an Isbar...he looks after the girls, calls them over when he finds treats and is the last one to eat when...
My Isbars from Richard lay a greenish/yellow egg and although I do not have my own CLB eggs yet....the ones I just got from him 2 wks ago were that pretty sky blue color.
I have a lemon cuckoo hen that I got from Richard Jordan at Jordan Farms in Cairo, GA and she is much larger than my plan ole Buff Orpingtons. I recommend Jordan Farms, the Lemon Cuckoo's, Isbars and Cream Legbars that I have gotten there are beautiful, healthy birds.
I had a hen do something similar, new layer and she started hanging out in the coop with her tail turned down and being very quiet. By the time I noticed the runny eggs coming out of her vent she was in serious trouble....my diagnosis was that she was eggbound, at least that is what I tried...
My beagle, Shorty, that killed my chickens was attacked just a few weeks ago by dogs/coyotes/something and left for dead. He had to stay at the vet for a week getting IVs etc. He has been home about 5 weeks and is just getting where he can hold his head up at a normal level and his rt. eye is...
My dogs are country dogs....they are not and have never been penned....but their breed is a hunting dog...beagle and german shorthair pointer.

So good to see you are BACK! I am getting 7-8 eggs per day now! My own dogs have been on a killing rampage with my chickens this week.....been a bummer. Lost a guinea, a blue English Orpington and a beautiful Cream Legbar Rooster. So needless to say, the dogs are in the doghouse!!! Someone...
I had 2 that I had got from Richard Jordan and they were beautiful birds. Just gave the other one away a month ago because I had so many roosters. I now have a 8 week old that I hatched from some of Richard's eggs when trying for a pullet...and just got 3 pullets from Bryce 3 or 4 weeks ago.....
Found my head rooster dead today when I got home (Cream Legbar)....killed by our family dog. Found a dead guinea the end of last week and could not figure out what happened. I was in the coop Saturday and he snuck in past me and killed a 6 week old blue English Orpington and I caught him and...
I've lost 1 white guinea, 1 Cream Legbar rooster and 1 Blue English Orpington pullet this week to a dog attack..........my head rooster we found this afternoon, Lightning.........just protecting his girls while they all free ranged......guess that is the end of free ranging for a while. I am so...
