Silverudd's Blue

[chickenpolo]

The back of the comb is a sprig not a spur. It’s a genetic defect and hereditary. Most consider it a cull from the breeding program. I learned about them today, and thought I’d share with the group! Sorry for the bad news.

Thank you for sharing and clearing up the whole sprig vs spur for me, I was pretty sure it was hereditary so that’s why I haven’t tried breeding them yet. Sadly it means I don’t have anything to work withI guess I’ve got to find more eggs to hatch or chicks to buy.... any suggestions??

There is a Silverudd’s Blue Facebook page where you can ask for some local cockerels and save some time.

Didn't know there was a Silverudd's Blue thread. My pullets just started laying this week. I'm in Florida and have blue and splash.

If you were in Florida, I have a slew of 9 week olds that need to find good homes.

Correct eye color and leg color. Blue and splash. The splash may get some leakage as they get older.

She’s very pretty! But I’m in MI, so sadly that won’t work
My first Silverudds were from eggs I hatched from FL though- and I love my hens, I just can’t seem to get good roosters

He’s just a baby but all of my SB have turned out very well. Best wishes finding your boy.

What part of Michigan? UP or LP? Have you tried that Facebook group for Silverudd’s Blues?

I know of some members that may be near you that have cockerels.

I’m in lower MI, and I’m not on FB so I wasn’t able to check out the group. Thanks though!!
