Yup.

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.

Absolutely! I had a terrible time recently breaking a broody that was not laying. She would have sat on a pile of rocks if I had let her! LOL Finally got broke her broodiness and got her back on board in the laying department.
