Worst part was the water heater thermostat and some thermometers.

Do you have a problem keeping the temperature with the hot water heater? I thought most of the thermostats were meant for a higher temperature then you would want in the incubator.

These are pictures for my Ia Blue that I have on auction. I could throw in some duck eggs as a bonus if you are interested.

This is a picture of my rooster with his tail grown back in. It was taken with my phone so its not the best quality.

One of my pullets not related to the current line.

I didn't use a thermostat but I do think I would rig one in for next time. Less of a hassle. From what I understand wafer thermostats work very well, are cheap, and will function as you would need the to in a an incubator.

Mrheinz, I have never seen IA Blues before, but he is certainly a pretty bird. May I ask what color of eggs they lay and how their temperament is?

I use wafer thermostats now but I see so many people talk about the hot water heater thermostats. The temperature setting on the hot water heaters seem too high, so I wondered if anyone was having problems with them.

The Iowa Blue lay anywhere from a tinted egg to a light brown, almost similar to Sussex eggs. They are ideal for free range flocks. The roosters are very good to their flock. It is said they will take on a hawk and win. I bought my flock in July and they were skittish. Now if I walk in the coop the rooster comes to see what is going on and if I am bringing treats. The hens are getting better. They will go broody and make good moms. I haven't experienced this but I was told by others.
There is a group working on this breed to get them back to a true birchen color without mossiness. We also hope toi get them accepted into the SOP in the future.
Thanks for asking.
