Here is a current pic of this handsome guy Blue!
He has the dark Isbar eyes which I love! Not excited about the red leakage though but so far he's a keeper
@cree57i what a handsome boy!!! That is what I wanted!!!
I figured the red leakage was undesirable; I was so heart broken when I saw it! He has a great temperament and dark eyes... maybe some of my others will grow out ok!
Is your boy considered blue or black?
Can I also get some opinions about this guy?
He's 14 weeks old; I think he's a rooster
It appears he's leaking red from his feathers.....
Is this something seen with 2nd import birds??
So...question for everyone
Are Silverudd Blue's (Isbar) suppose to have pea or straight combs??
These 3 are from my hatch on March 15th
I've seen pics of roosters with what I think is a straight comb that are Silverudd Blue's.....
Any info would be helpful!! Thanks!!!
Well said ChickKat!!
I am not going to consider that chick Silverudd Blue but am hoping it may be a hen so we can at least get some eggs.
You pose a great question; how do we keep the true birds going into the future?
Here are my 3 three week old chicks; 2 splash and 1 blue (along with their friend a Golden Sebright)
I think the splash are both roosters and hoping the blue is a hen!
(bad pic- still under the heat lamp)
lakones- do you have any pics of that handsome roo when he was a chick?
I was thinking the 'mottled' was not the correct color. So would you call that bird a Silverudd Blue? Interestingly I believe it is also 'rumpless' as shown in the following pictures. (and I think only Araucanas are rumpless)??
I was considering starting a breeding program but would...
Thanks for your responses! I questioned the black ones when I got them and was told they would grow out with 'white splash' on the tips of their feathers.
I also hatched some Isbar chicks; I have 2 splash and one blue that are 3 weeks old now. (I will try to get some good pics to post)...
Hello All!
I'm new to BYC but have been following this thread for a couple weeks. I bought some 'Isbar' chicks recently but I'm questioning whether that's what I received. Could you please help with your opinions? I love all I have read about the Isbars and am hoping for the best...
