So what would you say these 2 are? I think the splash is a hen. The black one, I'm unsure about.

Pretty girls, and you had them quite some time too. Were they good layers for you?

I had three for a while. They are BEAUTIFUL birds but rather high strung. Not good birds for a small backyard flock, especially, if you confine your birds to a run.
But if you have open space for them to forage and don't mind a bird who loves to BAGAWK at just about everything, you'll love them.

They are beautiful! They won't last a day in my backyard though, if they are that nervous.

Blue Isbars lay a pretty large mint colored egg they are a small blue bird as well, but much friendlier than BA.

I had one last year and she was a good layer and real tame. She was barely blue though, mostly white with a very faint tint of blue.
Got her from Meyer Hatchery. Have more ordered for May 2016.

Hello,Yes Andalusians are a flighty bird as most Mediterranean breed .They are very talkative also. I no longer have them but instead I have light brown leghorn bantams and White Faced Black Spanish Bantams.Both breeds are of the Mediterranean class very similar in temperament .They can be confined but in a chicken tractor that gives them new forage a couple times a week.Blues are interesting birds for sure( good egg layers also). thanks guys
