Mahonri's 2nd Annual NYDHatch, watching them grow...

[Mahonri]

to be peeping in that egg since SUNDAY this would truly be a miracle baby.

Amazing.

Thanks for the update yeah he still looks juicy. I'd stick a wet cloth over him with beak out and let him bake a bit longer. How amazing this one has made it this far

No doubt!!! It's probably going to be a little retard baby...

I'm sorry, special needs!

Most of my favorite pets have been a lot ... special

The one that was peeping Sunday morning, was hatched on Monday morning by 7am.. I helped it a little by pipping some of the way around the egg.. This ONE I have been hearing since late Monday I think.. Between yesterday and this morning, it hasn't been peeping as much or as loud.. So hopefully I have done the right thing by pipping.. Well, it's obvious I did since it had pipped the membrane. It's probably been pipped since yesterday sometime. It was probably suffocating. So thanks for the PM.. Otherwise I would have let it go thinking it would pip when ready.. And I still may have to get it out anyway. My heart is racing!! It's so tuff knowing when to help and when to stand back...

A group of us in Iowa got together and ordered from Ideal and Privett in September. I also bought some from a local breeder in Cedar Rapids to broaden the bloodline a bit. Still they all are from the same source - Sandhill originally. I have 5 roos and 10 pullets that are 15 - 19 weeks old. A couple of the older pullets are starting to show pink in thier combs, but most look pretty immature. Still I think I should have some available for the Easter hatch. I've never mailed eggs before, but I'm willing to give it a shot

Thanks for the photos! I've hit many a brick wall trying to gather intel on this breed. I love them and would love to help try to keep them from dying out.

I make periodic trips to Iowa, my folks live over by Carroll/Jefferson/Ft. Dodge area. I go right by Cedar Rapids on the way there. Keep me updated, I could always organize a trip home to let my boys visit their grandparents and "just happen to" get some Iowa Blue eggs in the process!

Good luck with them. Like you, I understand the gene pool is narrow, but I'd like to get as much diversification as I can.

GO IOWA BLUES!!

Good to have another IA Blues fan! We may get this breed resurrected yet

Well, I did find out not all TJs carry the fertile eggs. Print this off and take it with you (or to show someone who thinks you're a kook!):
