Then you'd better tell those GCM slackers to get the heck out of the bator!!!

Hope your hatch(es) go well.  fl

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.

Beautiful eggs.  My buttercup lays white eggs, but they are a creamy kind of white.  Those are REALLY white!

Well I have had an unfortunate time incubating the Icelandic eggs through no fault of my girls!  The temp in the Brinsea was 3 degrees lower than the digital readout.  The first two died without pipping.  I figured out what was going on and corrected the problem.  This morning I had my first Icelandic chick hatch! I believe this egg is from Henna.  The baby seems alert and active and noisy!  I am over the moon!

Here she/he is:

And, I have a dozen or so in the back-up incubator due in the next three weeks!
