Thought a pot luck, maybe egg/chick swap, etc. some afternoon some weekend, or try to swing a show if there's one coming up and have a get together. Dunno, thoughts? Ideas?

That sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe this summer sometime for all the club members? Maybe then the snow will actually be gone!

Oh, yeah, updated some things on the website today, too. Got a couple other things to update (breeder list, etc.), but added in a progress page for APA petitioning, added the current progress on the standard revision, rearranged the photos into gallery pages, and moved things around a bit to hopefully make it easier to find things. Let me know if you guys think of anything else we need on there!

Always happy to receive photos to add, as well!

I love the color pictures of the old stock, thank you for adding them. I think that keeping up with shows or the promotions group would be nice. We are so far away from Iowa, we feel detached out here when it comes to showing the Iowa's here.

If a show could be worked around a membership get-together weekend, that would be fantastic!

Hey! Where is everybody?

Are y'all out running 'round the yard enjoying the spring weather and trying to shake off cabin fever?

C'mon, you need to make time to talk about IaB's.

Just yesterday I received a shipment of chicks from Kari at Darkhorse Acres. They made the trip from IA in under 40 hours, arriving hungry and chirping very loudly. I was very impressed with the packaging and condition of chicks.

I'm really excited about growing them out, and hoping to have a larger sp cockerel in the bunch.

I will post pics when able.

Yes, that is what I have been doing, trying to talk about my brand new "IAB" chicks while enjoying the outside picking up huge tree fall out from the November ice storm we had here.

I am happy for you with your new chicks. It seems that sometimes posts are made and all you hear are crickets chirping in here.....
