My Icelandic chicks have always been precocious. Pipping earlier and hatching early, I had one I name Speedy because she was doing laps in the hatcher while others were hatching. 
Likewise in the brooder. I am going to be having a mixed brood so it will be fascinating comparing them to the Delawares and Iowa Blues.
That is going to continue on now from now on I hope.
Life is good, and better with Icelandic Chickens !
