Oh dear, from these pics I think so too. Don't worry I sent you some pullets, now you just have to hatch them!

Do you have chickens now? Do you hatch eggs? I have IaB hatching eggs available for shipment, as do BYC members MrHeinz77 and Hurley. Hurley is from Wisconsin as well. MrHeinze and I are from Iowa so not too far away. I'm sure we will all have some extra youngsters this spring or could possible hatch chicks for you.

I have chickens now I have australorps show birds my daughter shows I am going to try hatching some eggs this month I want a new rooster for this coming year I would probably prefer if I could get them from already hatched maybe around the end of February do you have some pics of your birds ?

Hoping for some SPs in this batch from Kari.

Got a good number of them developing nicely, not bad for shipped eggs so far.

I have to ship out a dozen IB eggs this week, but otherwise am trying to stick every one I get into the incubator. The winter is tough on eggs, but I've got a rotating system going where set every 5 or so days so keep cycling batches through the hatcher.

Anyone need any Iowacanas? These little blue eggs out of my lavender bantam Ameraucana x IB rooster have awesome hatching, things pop out like popcorn and aren't much smaller than the other chicks.

Cute little buggers and lively. Incidentally they look like IB chicks, though trend darker/less yellow, and obviously the pea combs.

I've got 2 pairs of Iowa Blues that are getting bigger and will be raising out as many chicks as I can this spring. Should have some extras at some point, I would think.
