My Isbars from Richard lay a greenish/yellow egg and although I do not have my own CLB eggs yet....the ones I just got from him 2 wks ago were that pretty sky blue color.
I'm hoping so. I picked up the parent flock to mine this weekend, and I have to say the rooster leaves a lot to be desired IMO. He does have a great big straight comb going for him, but more red than I'd hoped and a squirrel tail. Not complaining, just observing what I know I'm going to have to work on. Hopefully my cockerels keep their nice tail angle and my only major problem will be the coloring! Poor thing already had frostbite on his comb when I got him, and last night was 12 degrees and tonight is 11 degrees so he may lose a lot of his points but there isn't a lot I can do about it.lonnyandrinda, I am sorry to see that you lost Hattie. Some people are loosing more than their share of birds.
I love the color on Pretty Boy and the Brother of Pretty Boy. I am getting lots of color on the saddles of all of my boys and lots of chestnut on the shoulders. The pico pollos cockerels look like they will keep the dilute colors on the saddles and the faint color on the shoulders. And they have the good combs and tail angles to go with it. Very nice! I am getting goo tail angles and combs, but color still looks gold.
My FBCM rooster will have frostbite too, I noticed his comb points look tatty and bloody today. Their coop is not very well built as it was a make-shift "for now" that we slapped together this summer and now are being pressed to use. The birds in our nicer split coop seemed to have fared better, plus there are a lot more of them for warmth.
