And here she is now.

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.

Edited 3/29/10  (hatched around 3/17).  I think these photos are correct. They all look so much alike!

HI All, I am new to this chicken-love. Just bought eight EE, supposed pullets, at a local feed store on 3/18.  The saleslady was calling them Americonda or some jibberish of the name.  I knew what she was talking about and knew enough to know they were EEs.  I tried to gently enlighten her, but alas I only confused her more  idunno  Looking forward to seeing how they all turn out colorwise.  I think they look like they must be about a week old here.

Wow, Ginger started out kind of dark and ended up on the lighter side. Very pretty though.

Here is a couple of pics of an EE I got last year. It was supposed to be a pullet but it was a roo. It is in the middle, shaking his head in the first pic.
