I have a little piece of IOWA here in GA.. one chick so far..cute..battery dead in camera but charging now-- someone better snag them within the next couple of hours.. or else
Jim, they are beautiful and I sure am tempted but just yesterday my husband asked did I need to have every breed there was. He named off 15 breeding pens and he said that didn't even include the duck and goose pens.
The new pictures really show them off. I would love to have some for my meat bird pen but my incubator is acting up and if I took them we would be back to quail again since my BTW Japanese decided to sit on their eggs.
If anybody wants to produce sex link layers, Iowa Blue do work in producing Sex Link. They also work as free range birds just for some eye candy. They do make good mothers. Mine have been laying since August. I have been getting anywhere from 4-5 eggs a day from 6 hens.
Sorry for stalling the thread. This is the only thing laying besides 1 cross bred hen in my laying flock.
I could see if I could buy some eggs from somebody to offer up. I won't be able to check until tonight or tomorrow though.
