He is actually pretty darn adorable.
Not much new here DrayeI'm just waiting for my spring-hatched generation to grow up and start laying. I can hope that happens before winter, in which case I might be able to hatch then. But if they anything like their Exchequer Hen grandparents, they'll be slow to start laying so it won't be until next spring. Its a good thing I'm a patient person.
I now have Silverudd's blues (aka blue isbars). I think they would be an ok option for adding blue eggs into the aloha gene pool. What do you all think? If that would be a viable option I might be looking for some alohas once my silverudd's blue flock is increased

Well what if i only used the black birds from them?You'd have to look back through the thread, but alohachickens culled the blues from them because of the splashes they produce, I think that it messed up the mottling.
Silverudd's blues ar not barred, they are typically Blue/Black/Splash with either gold or silver leakageIsm't the Isbar a barred bird? My understanding is barring is very difficult to breed out so barred birds are generally not recommended for this project.
There have been multiple attempts to add colored eggs to the project and I personally think it would be super cool to have a flashy bird that lays a flashy colored egg. However so far the attempts to add color to the eggs have also added too many other unwanted elements - like muffs, beards, barring etc. By the time those traits are bred out, the egg color is gone as well.
