Appears to be working, now. Thanks!

Better slap some velcro and a bungee cord on it just to be sure!

We're can I get some eggs at? Really intrigued with this breed and wanting to work with them sad well as BUCks.

Re eggs, there are some excellent sources on this list, go back through the pages and you will find some. You dont say what area that you are in. But myself I am in northern MI so willnot even begin incubating until late April at the earliest. Actually May is a good beginning for me , and I will be hatching several breeds then. And hoping for some chicks from others.

The Iowa is a fascinating breed, and a valuable one for a homestead flock.

Re to the voting on the standard,

I seemed to be in an endless loop on the website going from the Standard Link and the Voting link, each led back to the other with no voting possible.

Check out the Iowa Blue Club website, there are several breeders listed.

Ok, everyone, the time has come! The Iowa Blue Chicken Club membership is being called to vote on the final edition of the Iowa Blue Standard. Just this one final step and we'll have ourselves an official breed standard!

By April 1st (hopefully), we'll be all official and ready to roll.

Feel free to bop to the website and vote here:

That's weird. I've got your vote submitted from the site. Did you figure it out? The Vote-Here tab has a form on it for voting. Not sure what you are viewing it on, do you have to scroll down?

Last night I set my Iowacauna hatch - about 20 Iowa Blue hens crossed with a lavender AM and a bunch of pure AMs. I just love the puffy cheeks

Iowacauna......sounds like we've on the verge of Iowa's second breed of chicken!
