Please help!!! Super confused about this rooster!!!

[margaret1657]

So I ordered 3 roosters from the fry pan bargain at Meyer hatchery which is supposed to give you purebred fast maturing roosters for meat. My family already butchered two of them, but we kept the one rooster that looks super pretty. I know he’s got to be a purebred but the thing is that the only possible breed he could be is a blue isbar. I can’t think of any other possible breed he could be, and he literally looks exactly like the pics on google images. When I chatted with a Meyer hatchery employee online however, they said that I can’t have a blue isbar bc they don’t have that in their breeding stock. So now I’m just confused. How did I end up with him? Here’s a couple pics of him if anybody has any opinions about this:

He’s not an Isbar he has feathered legs.

Looks like blue copper marans to me. The color is a little off, (leakage) but it is shaped like one and has leg feathering. https://www.meyerhatchery.com/productinfo.a5w?prodID=BCMS

I think it's a French Blue Birchen Marans.

So maybe part isbar part maran???

I think you’re probably right!!!

They don't have those at Meyer.

Oops, an employee put the wrong rooster in the wrong hen pen. How will we ever market these? -Birth of the "Fry Pan Bargain" deal.

Birchen Marans was a good guess.

I'm gonna go with one of their Easter Egger crosses... since nothing else really seems to add up.

So maybe part isbar part maran???

Not likely since they literally told you they don't have ANY Isbar in their breeding stock.

I love a good mystery.

I'm not really familiar with Meyer's but is there any chance they were offering Birchen Marans when these were purchased but are not offering them now? I'm really only familiar with Cackle because they're closest to me.
