I hatched this "gal" out about 5 weeks ago from an EE mommy and a barred rock dad.  Im pretty sure its a roo...but please prove me wrong smile   It does not have a large comb but it is quite pink and his legs are rather large....

Yeah, it's a boy.  The boys get the wide comb and very prominent "bumps" quickly.

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.
