Thanks Purpletie3
Yes all 3 have dark eyes they are first imports.
First 2 pics are one hen, the last 2 pics are a different hen. I should have specified.

Hi, I am new to Isbars. I ordered some eggs, and hatched 7 out of 8. I kept these 2, and they are from the 2nd line from Greenfire farms. Can't wait for my first egg.

They look very nice!

Thanks @ChicKat , just starting with them. I have done some research, and have read that people prefer the first line of Isbars over the second. But I have also read of all the immune problems with the 1st line. Perhaps, somewhere down the line, I can add some of the 1st line into my breeding for those darker eyes people are talking about. But for now, I am happy to add a green egg layer to my basket.

Where/who did you get the eggs from? That's a fantastic hatch rate for shipped eggs.

@UrbanMamaHen I know, it was a great hatch for shipped eggs. I got them from Orchard Hill poultry, if I remember correctly, in Georgia. I had thought I had an awesome hatch, because I thought I had 1 cockerel and 6 pullets. But I have discovered that the cockerels seem to develop at different times. I had the 1 obvious cockerel. then about a month later, the other 2 popped up, and now I believe the splash in the picture is also a slow developing roo.
