Silverudd blue, Isbar , Identification

[Hawks93]

Hey y’all I’m trying to figure out if this young pullet is a Isbar , she has a coloration I don’t see under recognized colors for this breed?

Looks more like an Ancona.

I’m gonna say I don’t think so.
Leg color is wrong never seen a splash with that large of a black area not saying it can’t happen but I dunno. Here is a chart I use that was posted by @dodgeballchix

I see what you mean , but there’s a problem with that , she supposedly hatched from these colored eggs

Huh. Odd. She’s mottled, which is a gene I wasn’t aware isbars had. Can you ask the person you got her from if they have any mottled birds?

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

I have no idea , this is my first time with this type of chicken, and after doing a bit of looking up I only found one other possible example of a molted Isbar

Well, if she lays blue/green eggs then she’s an isbar, though one with the incorrect coloring. If she lays brown/white, then she’s a different breed.

I saw somewhere that said the molted coloration is an undesirable gene that most people try to cull and breed out of a population

Yes, mottling seems to be undesirable in isbars.

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

I agree...which is so odd right?

Yes. Though keep in mind that if she ends up laying white/brown eggs, then she could be a different cross all together.

That's an Ancona.
