Iowa Blue
Silver Pullet
This breed was founded near Decorah, Iowa in the early 1900's. This is a very endangered breed with less than 60 Silver pullets accounted for in IBCC's last Census, but with the help of a few very devoted breeders the Iowa Blue is coming back from the brink of extinction. The Iowa Blue is a fantastic free ranger being perfectly adapted to the hot and cold temperatures of Iowa. These birds serve a dual purpose: hens lay a large number of medium sized tinted-beige colored eggs and males grow large enough to reach a respectable butcher weight.
