    Iowa Blues - Breed thread and discussion

    Due to an unfortunate chain of events this past week, I've made the difficult decision to liquidate all of my stock. It has been a pleasure getting to know all of you, and I appreciate the knowledge many of you have graciously shared with me. I hope to someday rejoin the club in hopes of...

    I didn't get started hatching until late this year, but I'm pretty excited about the juveniles I have in my grow out pens. I'm getting lots of dark eyes and slate legs, but am still struggling with loose wings and size could always be better. I'm seeing some really good looking birds on the...

    I got a dozen from http://www.muddyfeathersfarm.com a couple months ago. Brant's packing methods were superb and even with postal delays I ended up with 7 chicks. I would not hesitate to buy from him again, in fact I'm on his list for another dozen. A+++ seller!

    Does anyone have heritage turkeys? I've been looking in my area for a while with no luck. I am looking for Royal Palm, Bourbon Red, and/or Sweetgrass. I could do eggs, poults, or adults. Thanks!

    I have 2 Hovabator Genesis and a Brinsea Octagon. I'm needing to upgrade to a cabinet model though.

    I snapped a few photos of the crew a couple days ago with my phone... Just thought I would share . It's been busy here with becoming NPIP certified and hatching chicks. I think I may need a bigger incubator

    Good to hear from you Connie! You're more than welcome to use any of the photos I have of my birds here if they suit your fancy. I believe I also sent photos earlier this year when the newsletter came out but never received an email back, so I'm not sure if it went through or not.

    Blue Copper and Splash Copper Marans Discussion

    Is anyone selling hatching eggs yet? My mother and I have been looking for this variety for quite some time with no luck, so thought I would try here. We are willing to pay as much as needed for quality stock, and the darker the eggs, the better! Thank you!!! :D

    They are usually medium sized. I would describe the color as a creamy off white, but I have some who lay a taupe color.

    Mine are pretty good layers. Currently with 9 hens I can expect about 5-7 eggs per day with lights on them.

    Thanks Kari, that's a lot of eggs! I'm hoping I won't have more incubator issues again this year. My orders are starting to pile up as well. I've had to refer quite a few people to you because they were wanting chicks immediately.

    I guess I've never payed close attention to how my chicks feather out. That would be an interesting project to do! I set 30 IB eggs on 3-1. We've been going out to check the coop for eggs every 45 minutes or less and sometimes we still get cold eggs. Fingers crossed for a decent hatch rate
