If it is, I dont know about it. That would just be too simple!@cree57i one more question: in Isbar chicks is the size of the wing indicative of gender? My splash has much larger wings than my black.
So pretty. Here are my chicks:If it is, I dont know about it. That would just be too simple! The first picture is of 25 Silverudd's Blue (Isbar) I hatched last Sunday for the Easter Hatch-a-long. The next picture are a few of my grow outs hanging out.
By the way they are standing I would GUESS the splash is male and the black is female. That is only a guess though.So pretty. Here are my chicks:
They are almost 2 weeks old.
I'd hoped she was out in the field sitting on eggs, but it's been more than enough time for her to hatch out babies, and I still have seen no sight of her (though I did see a duck hen that was "missing" appear one morning for her breakfast and a drink before going back to her stash of eggs).
We noticed she'd developed pasty butt (seemed to happen really quickly, we'd checked on them mid-morning and then after work we noticed she was really lethargic) and went downhill very quickly. The three in the picture seem to be thriving, thankfully! They'll be two weeks old on Wednesday. They are the 1st chicks hatched from parents who are of stock from Greenfire Farms 2nd import stock. They'll join our mixed flock of a RIR, EE, and three BOs - eventually! They're so stinking small! 
Any tips on early gender recognition with this breed? The two blues have developed tail feathers already but the splash hasn't. The splash is smaller than the two blues though.
How old are your grow outs here, cree?If it is, I dont know about it. That would just be too simple!
