Blue Isbar or Blue Andalusian

[Cyclonechick]

Help! In mid- August I had gotten 5 Blue Andalusian chicks. In early September I hatched 4 of Silverudd's Blue Isbar chicks. Due to a crazy schedule and some predator issues, I realize that I have 4 pullets that I have no idea which breed they are. I'm hoping that one of the experts here on either/both breeds can tell me which I have. I realize I can wait until they are laying since one lays a white egg and one lays a greenish egg, but I'd like to know earlier if possible. I'm thinking they are Andalusians but again, I'm just guessing. Here are two of the four from this morning (January 4, 2022). Thanks!

They look like Andalusians. But I don’t see the white earlobes.

Thank you!

I just checked - 3 have red/pink earlobes and 1 has white.

I always forget to look at earlobes.

I love blue andelusian.
And blue Isbar.
But if I had to chose, it would be the isbar.

Me too! I also love Isbars, although I'm not super familiar with the breed.

Same. One of my sweetest birds was an isbar. My most skittish was the Andalusian. That’s just a personal observation though.

Our andalusian 2 were SO skittish...we like to hold our ladies so we sent them to the auction. Andalusians and sebrigjts bave been our most skittish birds
