Yup, Doug beat my Wellies at the Peoria show this Spring and had his Wellie on Champion Row. It was a very small show, but very nice pullet.

Sorry about that, Marcel. I assumed that since I was asked to repost them that permission had already been granted. I'll definitely be more careful about using someone else's photos in the future. (I usually get permission before using anyone's photos, just made a silly mistake this time.)...

Thank you for joining us, Marcel.

There is an egg competition at the Iowa State Fair this year in August. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Robin, here are the photos you asked me to upload for you.

This bird belongs to Duane Smith in IN. :)

I think Fred was just using an example of what he breeds. RIR's and Welsummers are different in type. RIR's are Brick shaped, with a long, long back.

This is a big cock bird. His wing carriage is low, leg color is lacking. I'd like to see him have more width of feather. His back is pretty broad, chest a little flat, but mostly black with a just a little stippling. Nice big hen, good color, leg color is a little lacking, something...

As far as keeping track of progeny, you can toe punch chicks. I also use color code with colored zip ties. If you google a toe punch chart, there are many out there. Smith Poultry Supply has the best prices on toe punches and bands that I've found so far.

I agree. Hatch and raise up as many as you can afford to feed and house. Be careful not to cull too early unless you find serious faults. It's not uncommon for exhibition to raise upwards of 100 per year just to get a trio.

Being that there is a proposed standard posted on the IBCC website, I would like to see Iowa Blues looked at as well. As long as someone posts their own pictures and requesting critiquing, negative feedback in a constructive manner is a good thing. That said, taking someone else's photo...

I know Jon Alden is working on Lamona's at the moment. Maybe he could post some pictures and go over them?
