Silverudd's Blue

[sr26]

Does anyone know if the "Blue Hen" sold by GracefulChickens is the same breed? is it 1st import, 2nd import, or a different altogether?

got a picture? Maybe you could pin it down from GracefulChickens what the background is. Blue is a pretty common color in a lot of breeds.

I looked at their pictures. It looks like the rooster has a black comb. I would say it is different altogether.

That is a cross between a Silverudd's Blue and a Svarthöna (Swedish Black Hen). I could be mistaken, but I believe they are an F1, which means the next generation will throw chicks with a variety of characteristics.

Beautiful pictures of Silverudd's Blues. Mine are a group from two breeders my younger from Green Fire, my older are a mix of first and second imports. Somehow I've ended up only with a few blue and blue splash. Most are black and black splash.

Quote: Ah. Quite expensive for something that won't reproduce the same! Although Svart Honas aren't that easy to come by either.
