I see a lot of breeders making a silhouette from a photo, and blowing it up life size. It's a fabulous idea that I plan on doing!

I can bring you a heater from home. :)

Saturday at 2pm. EIPA will have a spot picked out on site for the meeting. Also, IBCC is welcome to set up a table. Just let me know if you need it and if you have someone to "man" the table during the show.

I need the entries for the show in my hands by Friday!

Got it!

And one more thing, Iowa Blues need to be entered into the American Class.

It's always good to bring birds to show. It supports the show with entries, and financially There are some webisites that give great info on prepping your birds. http://showbirdbid.proboards.com/thread/3057/exhibitors-101-list-knowledge http://www.poultryshowcentral.com/ is also a great...

No worries, Candy. We will have a tester on site. They will need to go through the sale area directly to the tester. Once your birds are tested, you may check in at the desk, as Kevin will give you your certificate. I would be willing to test them for you as well, but you would need to bring...

The Eastern Iowa Poultry Association 143rd Annual show will be held 11/30-12/30 at the Sharpless Auction Complex in Iowa City, IA. IBCC has discussed having a display of birds and is also welcome to have a table for discussing and promoting the breed. If you would like to enter birds, it isn't...

Sand Hill Preservation provides the best stock, by far.

The hen in this pic has the brick shape we were referring to the other night, she just has too much fluff on her bottom for it to really show. So, in a future discussion, we will need to discuss whether or not to keep this feature and write it into the standard.

Congratulations everyone! I can't wait to see this club and breed continue to develop!

Here is another picture of Jim's Iowa Blue at the EIPA show.

Poultry Show Central is a great place to learn how to show and to help find show dates. A lot of shows are listed on the APA website. You may also want to join a local club in your area. That will help a great deal. http://www.poultryshowcentral.com/feeding-showbirds.html The Poultry...

Hi all! I've left County Line Hatchery to concentrate on showing. I'm regrettably dispersing my Iowa Blue flock. There are hens, a rooster, pullets and cockerels. I'd like them to go to a home that will continue to work with others to better the breed. Please feel free to contact me at my...

Thank you for posting this! It was so helpful. I think I've been culling the wrong birds. This is why I love BYC!!!! Quote:

Anyone interested in some hatching eggs? My Iowa Blue's are on a roll!

I got my buckeyes from Laura Haggarty. They are amazingly well bred birds. The hen I have, is a laying machine. Some days I wouldn't get an egg, then the next day I would see 2 in her pen. I raised lots of babies out of her this year. Now she is mothering some babies. These are very heavy...

Buckeyes are awesome, Jake. If you haven't had them before, you won't be disappointed.
