Thanks!
I have a few pairs of regular white homers that i use as foster parents. Yes We also have chickens. Silver laced wyandottes, black australorp and icelandic chickens for eggs.

I am looking to add an Icelandic to my flock of pets. Was close to getting one 2 years ago, but it fell through. I always add 2 at a time, and the person only had one Ice, available. 200 mile round trip just did not justify that.

I am new to BYC. A homesteader in upstate NY and currently breeding Utility White King and Siver King pigeons. My birds just started breeding for spring and hopefully I can get them going until late fall this year.

What are they used for.?

What are they used for.?

King pigeons are the ones that are ideal for food. They are BIG.

Icelandics are winter hardy. Great from where we are in upstte NY. They forage well and still continue to lay eggs in the winter. Btw, Where are you from?

Why couldn’t they eat kale?

They do eat it. I get it for them as there is no grass in the run. It feel like there could be some of the stalk stuck in there.
