[Hurley]

Nice - size and beauty. Just lovely.

 

[ottbjumper06]

Thank you . Theyre coming along nicely. Here is a picture of my new cockerel. His wings arent as tight as I'd to see

but I think thatll improve with age.

Open to all Junior Show exhibitors. Entrants will be divided into age groups, and will present one bird (chickens recommended) to our showmanship judge. They will answer a panel of questions based on general poultry and breed-specific knowledge. The judge will score entrants based on their: appearance, bird’s condition, knowledge and presentation skills. This is an APA/ABA Youth Program sanctioned showmanship event, and showmanship points will be awarded to APA/ABA Youth Program members who participate. Awards will be given in each age category.

If anyone is interested in showing Iowa Blues (or any breed for that matter) at this show, please feel free to reach out to the EIPA Secretary or myself and we can get you a sign up sheet!

I have 7 IBs I hatched out about 5 weeks ago. I'm happy to see an SP cockerel in the group. I have what I think will be 2 SP hens as well. The rest are dark birchen-like colors. Looks like I only have a total of two cockerels all together.

Correction re: age, they hatched on 9/13-14

Congrats on the successful hatch Dan! You'll have to get us some pics so we can check them out.

Thanks Curt, I posted some photos over on the IB discussion thread. Take a look when you have a sec.

 

[mrandmrschicken]

Can someone provide directions to the IB statue? Might be a good photo op again for those of us who were not able to attend the dedication but will be in Iowa City for the show. I want to see trish in a chaps and a cowboy hat riding that! LOL

 

[karimw]

Actually I'd like to plan a trip over to the statue after the birds are released on Sunday so those of us with birds can pose with them It's pretty easy to find, right off Interstate 80, just west of where the show is held.
