Here's some fun pics of some of my three month old chicks. You can see they are coming along nicely. For those who are new to the breed, this is not what the adult plumage looks like as it will be darker in some areas on the males and a little lighter in the head on the females. But overall they are looking very nice.
Silver Penciled Iowa Blues Cockerel-
Here's my favorite young rooster. Another Silver Penciled Cockerel. Look at how full his tail is. Good looking fella.
And some shots of my two older pullets.....First up is my nice round headed Silver Penciled Iowa Blue pullet. She's also fuller in the body as well.
And my "scrappier" Silver Penciled Iowa Blue pullet. She's got a more pointed head, but her color is fantastic. I think she'll develop a whiter head than the pullet above.
Here's a close up of her breast. You can see the beautiful pattern begin to take shape. This will change as she gets older, but will still carry a similar look.
