Hi! I've got two silverudd's blue and one splash, and at that age, I'm thinking cockerel. Not an expert by any means, though.

With the orange color I would say they are all males. I could be wrong because I have never observed that color in a hen. My splash hens are blue and white, period.



My rooster doesn't have any of the orange coloring either.



If you go to Feathersite here : http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Isbar/BRKIsbar.html you can see pictures of Isbars with the orange coloring. The splash hen shown on feathersite appears to have a bit of orange too.

I am not good at sexing birds and am often wrong on my own birds. That is why I don't do it for anyone else's.

View attachment 1524065 I know this is a pretty old thread but I was wondering if you think my little isbar is a hen? Thank you!

It's a little too early to say for sure, but the blue looks like it maybe a cockerel.

I should have mentioned the other two dark ones are silkies. Only the splash is an isbar.

Yes, I just noticed the feathers on their legs. I thought the Isbar looked like a light blue. Didn't realize it was a splash. Here's a pic of my Isbar chicks. My splash chicks were yellow or yellow & black

I vote cockerel. The females usually have dainty legs at this age.

S/he is about 5 weeks old. I did feel the vent today (someone suggested) and it feels hard. Not sure if that’s really accurate.

I’ve never heard that’s a way to check.???

Agree all roos.

I am not convinced of the boy-ness of the bunch. Allyn could you please let us know how old these guys are? Isbars are very rare (as in $99/unsexed chick) ever in the States so I/we are not super experienced in the sexing. More info would be greatly appreciated!
