Iowa Blues info request

[Drgnluver]

I am putting together a list of breeds that l am interesting in getting in the future. Does anyone have this breed that can tell me of their overall temperament ( I understand about it being variable between chickens), are they prone to being Flighty?

Any first hand knowledge of the breed that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Iowa blues if I am correct is not officially a breed by the apa. I have seen them listed on ideal and I have heard sandhill's preservation society has a fantastic quality. Here is the feathersite. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Iowa/BRKIowa.html

Thanks, this will be for next spring as I will be moving to a chicken friendly site in NC this fall and am trying to get an idea of the type of chicken we would like for next spring.
