Forgot to add that these chicks hatched from when I had the birchens running with the silvers. No charcoals in the flock at this time.
 
Am continuing to receive requests for IB info and chicks! At least 2 a day, sometimes more. Most of the folks do not tell me where they live so I reply asking that info so I can get them in contact with a breeder closer to their area.
Without fail I suggest the website as well, but most have already been there or have read the Back Yard Poultry mag., article.
My how the word is spreading! And fast! it's also that time of year when folks think Spring!

That is wonderful news! We have some people locally interested and we will hopefully have some IaB chicks to take to our Chickenstock get together in Lansing on June 21st. I am very frustrated as I have eggs that are fertile, but no chickens to sit and no incubator

How cute is this little peanut? It's from my "Iowacana" project. Looking towards B/B/S over Iowa Blue coloration, blue egg gene, and pea comb for the long run. This little one is 3/4 Iowa Blue (Silver penciled cockerel).

 
I'm absolutely thrilled to report that I have a 110% jump in development from the last batch of eggs I set. Up to 50% developing! I'm going to call that pretty good for battling frozen eggs!!!

We bought the Farm Innovation Pro Series, circulated air model. I think it's model # 4200? Got a great deal on it, so I hope it does a good job. DH has it warming up and doing a lot of forum research on what people need to do to tweak it.

I looked into getting that one as well when I was searching last spring, best of luck with it :)
