IA here

SO the dentist called today. Whomever made my appointment didn't know I was getting a root canal and didn't schedule enough time. It has now been pushed to next Wednesday. They gave me more antibiotics, etc. But I can't even keep water down - how the heck am supposed to take them?

I'm gonna go back to bed now - just had to whine because no one is home but the dogs and apparently puke breath smells like a treat to them

OH NO!

I'm gonna post some new pics of the IA Blues. Maybe that will cheer you up

Feel better soon! Being sick is the pits!

Ok here are some updated picks of the Iowa Blues! The older roo and 3 of the pullets are 18 weeks and the others are 2-3 weeks younger. Those of you that have them have probably noticed there is a lot of variance on the maturity of these chicks

The flock

A couple of the younger pullets

3 roos - the big one on the left is the oldest

Older roo - I see I better get that zip tie off him!

Older roo and young roo

They are a pretty rowdy bunch, but at least they get along with their neighbors!

I'm hoping those are minis in the background, or those are the biggest chickens I've ever seen!!

Yes! The minis are all about 34 inches. Over all these chicks are pretty small. At least the Barred Rocks and Cochins I have that are younger are MUCH bigger!

There are a lot of minis around here! I love the IA Blue roos- what cool markings!

Love the chick pics. I had been curious what an Ia Blue looked like. Now I know. I don't see the "blue" part, but then I am not very knowledgeable about bird colors. I am just anxious to see what my "variety" pak from McMurrays will hold! Prowling around BYC while I wait..and wait...and wait...and wait...

I must have redone my nursery 4 times already and am just about to head out and do it again. Then I wait again. The week of the 31st is just too slow in coming!. Waiting...waiting...waiting...

Now for Trish's chicks - all from FlashPointFarms:

This is a 3/10 Ameraucana next to a 12 week Cochin

A couple more Cochins

BBS Ameraucanas

3 buff Orpingtons from eggs I hatched under a broody 11-4-10. I think (hope) 2 pullets and a roo?

And my favorite - lovely dark blue cochin

I was really hoping you'd post some Cochins pics!!

Beautiful!! I can hardly wait to get some from Trish this Spring...
