They are very different from the parent stock. These have fluffy heads and are spoted.

Nothing wrong w fluffy heads & spots

Yep a little cornstarch and/or super glue & she'll be fine.

Leave it alone, It'll be OK, not a big deal..
Or wrap it in tape with a little Lambert Kay EMT gel. I swear by this stuff, look it up. All natural, super fast healing in my experience.

My step dad has an extremely sensitive stomach- he stopped eating eggs a long time ago because he said they made him feel poorly. But now that I give them eggs he eats a dozen a week!

My loving NY peeps...You all should have Swedish isbars in your flock (Silverudd's Blues). I can not keep them out of the slush, rain, snow, sleet. They laid throughout the winter the best of any of my huge flock. I went out to shut them up the other night and the wind was ridiculous and there were three perching on top of the coop.


If any of you are looking for eggs shoot me an IM. I have five different GFF purchases and some of the other breeders on here who are working with the first and second lines. So, I have done a lot of work the last couple years sourcing the best birds for my program.



I have a black roo over 4 black hens, 3 blue hens and 1 splash. So, the majority of chicks will be black but you have a chance of blue and splash too.

My friend Norm couldn't eat eggs, but when I gave him a dozen not knowing this, he tried them and was fine. When he ran out he tried Egglands Best but they made him sick. I don't feed organic but I also don't add anything to the basic commercial feed. I think commercial egg farms add things I don't.

I just know that pastured chicken eggs don't make Norm sick.

Isbars are some cool looking birds, they lay some cool eggs also. How many eggs do you get? GFF says they only lay 150-200 yr.
They don't look very meaty.
