Those are some beautiful chickens.For those of you looking for Iowa Blues based on the traditional birds, check out the breeder list on the Iowa Blue Chicken Club website. I'm not sure what the hatcheries are breeding for, but Iowa Blue chicks should not be black. If you see those, steer clear.
Kind of like Ameraucanas, if you want a true Ameraucana instead of a mixed breed Easter egger that lays colored eggs, buy from a breeder. I'm not a snob, mind you. I love my EEs and raise more every year, but I have SQ AMs too, and there is a big difference!!
My Iowa Blues don't look much like they did when I got them from Welp and Privett 6 generations ago.
These girls were born brown with mottling and are the traditional Silver variety. Sorry for the dark picture.
Thanks! I just love themThose are some beautiful chickens.
Yikes! Have you tried the Kalona sale barn? I think on Wednesday mornings they sell eggs. I don't know if anyone brings turkey eggs or not. My dad used to go there and I would meet him in the summertime, but neither of us have been in a while. I'll ask him To check and see if their are any and how much $ they are running. But I know he won't go there until it warms up.We are looking for some as well. I found midget white poults on CL for $10/ chick.

Awesome, thanks soo much! I will get to moving the girls out!They should be fine outside. I have some chicks that have been outside for awhile. One thing I do suggest is putting some terramycin or coloidial silver because tis the season for colds and respitory distress
