Terrific article - this is how I found the club!

Awesome Leah! You're going to really enjoy this breed. They have such fantastic characteristics that are unique in all of chickendom. Welcome aboard!

Thanks! I've made arrangements to buy hatching eggs as soon as they're available and am anxiously awaiting next spring, when I expect there will be quite a few more breeders as a result of the article. I plan to be one of them and hope to get some of the local 4H-ers interested once approved by APA. What's the latest on that?

hi. it would help to create interest in ibcc if you help new members get started.i can't seem to get any eggs to hatch.if any one has some please contact me...patfraser23@gmail.com. i found ibcc in the back yard poultry magazine.i live on a homestead and raise back yard chickens. i fell in love with the iowa blue they are so beautiful and smart. i will faze out back yard chickens and just raise blues.from what i read they are the best chicken for my homestead. i can't wait to see one in person.i am open to talk to any one with good ideas.
