My hatching eggs are supposed to be here by the first week of march from Bargain here on BYC and from an RIR breeder, this is our set times with them. I know Nancy (bargain) is sick though and Dick Horstman has told me his hens have been a little off with the weather changes. Anyhow, I'm assuming they will send Monday or Tuesday and get here by Wednesday or Thursday, will I be eligible to still participate? I'm not sure if I will be able to set on Saturday at noon however.

Starting to get hard to keep up here! I leave for a couple hours & BAM! More posts! Loving the pics and videos, folks! I've never heard of Iowa Blues, but boy, they sure are pretty! I need some blue or lavender in my flock!

Received the March/April Annual Poultry issue of Hobby Farms magazine yesterday. I always enjoy the magazine but this one is special

Page 36



Hurley did a great job on the article for the Iowa Blues! They used most of what she wrote, though the proposed Standard they listed has changed a little since then.

These are such beautiful birds

They remind me of my Gray Japanese Bantams

It is always sad when we lose one of our favorites.

RIP little girl.

im sorry Sally, she was a beautiful girl! just keep trying, and you will know when to stop. I knew I had to stop with my dream chicken, mille fleur d'uncles that I was going to breed and sell eggs for when 3 batches of 10 chicks all died within the first week.

Oh, so sorry, Sally, Those feathered feet would make it hard to see anything.

I was thinking about this last night and thought I would post that last year for the hatch a long, rate was figured as #eggs hatched / # eggs set.

For a large group like this and so that # can be Proven that's how it was done. Not sure how they are going to do best and worst hatch this year.

I'm so sorry Sally. I have hit many brick walls with my Barnevelders. I have thought about giving up on them, but I just can't - I love them too much. But I certainly am frustrated.

Sure, you can still participate!
