Kathy - from what I hear, turkeys are far more personable than chickens.  They bond with people.

 

Beautiful pictures Mary!  I have a girl that looks just like Dagny.

Breeding Welsummers and Barnevelders.

 

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

Kelly several of the most personable people I know are turkeys, personable and all that but still turkeys.

 

Re real turkeys, I have had several types, all have been very good with people, the 'wildest' the Wishard were just as tame at feeding time as the others. I hace also had Blacks, Bronze Bourbons, and Eastern Wild, and had to shoo them out of the way at feeding time, the Eastern Wild and Wishard roosted in trees around and ranged more then the others was the main difference I noticed, as soon as the poults came in for feeding they also settled right in. 

 

Question, these Icelandics  what I call wheatens with a blue wash on them , what are they called besides blue washed wheatens??

Icelandics,brought to Iceland by Vikings in the 9th century, winterhardy, freeranging, an ancient homestead breed that broods, a steady producer of white eggs.Very variable in color,  comb style  and feathering. Like Forest Gumps box of Chocolates, 'You never know what you are going to get". My  Homesteader Breeds;  Icelandic Chickens, Chantecler,  Delaware and Iowa Blues.
