Wont be long now! Mine hatched February 14th and they started layout ng a month ago
They should be coming right along!!! Mine were around that time and some of them are laying.
Any input on the gender of my Isbar would be greatly appreciated! As I am in love already and have one egg mixed with some other breeds in the incubator.

About two weeks ago I posted a picture of my Isbar chick. I miss calculated her age. She's about seven weeks old now extremely calm, quiet, sweet and loves to lay down. Is not interested in being on the perch . At the last post I had a first-generation all of olive eager the same age as her. Who is definitely a cockerel as you will see. Wonderful dude!

Yay! I love it! I was thinking my husband had bought a vitamin for feathers and skin . I used it the first two weeks and aware they both just took off! As soon as I ran out they slowed down. Even my husband asked why they had so much beautiful plumage so early. We have hatched and raised quite a few this year! The vitamins seem to work. I'm so ecstatic! Thank you!
How long does it typically take a isbar to lay ? I want her grow as big as she can first. Are they a jumbo or standard size? Now I don't have to change her name
I think my Isbar is about 5 months when she started to lay. Green/blue eggs that are medium.

How early they start to lay depends on the time of year. Those reaching 5-6 months in the early spring to mid summer will usually start laying in the 5-6 month range. Those reaching 5-6 months going into fall and winter will usually wait until 7-9 months to start laying, unless they are given supplemental light.
Isbars are considered a large fowl breed (as opposed to bantam), but are on the small end of the scale size wise. The eggs are usually small when they first start laying and usually work their way up to medium to large size within a few months. By the second year of laying, my girls were laying large to extra-large eggs. The color of the eggs can range anywhere from a light mint green to a dark olive green, some with spots.
