Aww, I'm sorry you lost Princess, Steph. I know you loved that little hen!
Would you like me to hatch you out some when mine start laying again? Laying has dropped off here with the cold.

That's so sad
I didn't know P obviously, but I enjoyed hearing about her. Do you have a picture?

This is a picture of the Princess wanting back in the house earlier this spring:
I think that is the funniest thing she ever did, perching on the window sill until someone would let her in
And here she is recently with her babies:

Here is a more recent picture of The Big Roo. I took it whatever that last nice day was last week.

Nice markings! He has good color down through his chest. I have a couple like that, but the other two have the silver only on their heads. I'm hoping they will develop more, if not, those are the two I will pull from the breeding group.
I had a long talk with Curtis Sunday night (the guy with the IA Blues in the sale coops) He has done a lot of reseach on them and we talked about developing a standard. He says the roos with the most silver down their chest are the most likely to pass the silver heads to their daughters. He would like all the iowa breeders to get together this summer and talk about what it would take to get them APA approved. He is also planning on showing them next year in an open class in the Eastern Iowa show. We should all do that
It would be fun to have an unofficial Iowa Blues class!

We let the chicks out with all the big hens and that little roo is still bad! He got into 3 fights with 3 different hens! the buttercups were moved into the hutch to have more room..thought Brooster was choking, idk what was wrong, I think he got a piece of food stuck in his throat because after a few mins he started to breath normal again and was doing his sneezes
We need to get a pen built for them or something soon, because those hens don't like the other birds, and Brooster doesn't seem to like the hens..he seems to go after just my two for the one time we had them out :\\
