Silverudd blue, Isbar , Identification

[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.

Curious if this little girl I picked up is all or part Isbar. She was sold as ameracauna but, she was so pretty I couldn't resist.

Could be. Though it’s odd that she was sold as an ameraucana, where did you get her?

At a feed store in Camarillo, CA. Local ag kids sell coop ready pullets. I found this thread and it looks SO MUCH like her. She has the little ear poofs that are small and round and I see a lighter spot near her ear. Not sure if her comb will go red or not. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/olive-egger-isbar-x-bcm.1069564/

Huh. Well, so far I’m thinking that she’s an isbar cross.

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.
