    I note that one review on here states that Icelandics can have feathered legs and this is not true. They must have clean shanks. They commonly lay white and tinted tan/pinkish eggs.

    Introduction & Preserving Icelandic Chicken genetics...

    Cindy: ran across your request for some diversity in your new (in 2010) Icelandic flock. Did you have luck finding folks with other lines of Icelandics. If not please visit the FB page Icelandic Chickens (landnamshaenan) for help. Many owners are in New England.

    Review by '' on item 'Icelandic or Viking Hen'

    Much more interesting than any other of the many breeds I have lived with in more than 60 years. I like their reactive instincts, like wild birds. They are very curious and intelligent and if raised right, given treats and around calm people they are very friendly. Each bird has his or her own...

    Try the Icelandic Chicken group on Facebook. Wonderful information, an approved breeder's list (Sandhill Preservation is not on that list).

    There are a lot of factors that trigger pullets to begin laying beyond what breed they are. They include amount of daylight hours (or artificial light), quiet and safe laying place, quality of feed and general health/parasite control. I'm in Montana USA, and all of my hens regardless of age...

    Ancona Chicken Thread

    Yes, I have noticed that. I got my pure Ancona from a friend and she was almost all black at a few months old. She is now four and as white with black as my silver spangled Hamburgs. I would call it a splash color pattern. I have a flock of Hamburgs crossed over the last 30+ years with one...

    Silver Spangled Hamburg Crosses?

    I've crossed my Hamburgs with Fayoumi and barred rocks. They make excellent, hardy eggs layers. Because Hamburgs and Hamburg crosses are smaller and don't carry extra weight, not particularly good for meat production. Great on the feed bill though. They fly, can get out of tight places, are...
