I have some cockerels with the lacing on the chest, both original line and new line. I don't think it is as prominant on the original line. I am going to try to get some new pictures of my juvies soon. My rooster's earlobes are bluish-white, I think.I contacted GFF about my isbar that was supposed to be a bresse and they said it's definitely an Isbar. I told them I realize it's an Isbar but is it pure? Had they seen any of the chest coloring in any of their birds, and of coarse I never got a reply back.
I did find some pictures of tailed araucanas. I'm guessing that the new line of isbars has a lot of their blood in them. Look at the chest compared to my guy

I was thinking of keeping my roo to breed as I really like him and I kind of like the larger size as I eat my extra Roos. I got 2 blue isbar chicks from another breeder from the old line as I was hoping for a pullet for him. Now I see chambe94's pullet and I have one that looks just like it. She was also sent as a bresse. I have no way of knowing what I have anymore. I really need to cull and can't tell what I have, not to mention my whole plans for spring are all messed up.
Anyway can you all chime in as to what color your Isbars earlobes are? My black roo has red but I looked online and some blues look to have white and some red. thanks
