They are stunning! Congrats! I really love Orri's coloring.

You certainly hit the jackpot! Once my new coop is built, I'd love to hatch some.

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.
