Sorry to hear about the chick and the lid. My wife has had a rather sudden arthritic onset in the past year (runs in her family), and we're learning just how many things there are that require fingernails and hand strength. We've changed the cabinet hardware and doorknobs and were at a loss...
I thought that I'd stop in to say hi to everyone. I've been here and there on BYC, but various goings-on in the offline world have me only logging in a few minutes at a time.
I'm now in the planning stages for a new coop and run, intending to populate it with Icelandics come early summer if...
Thanks for the correction. Is the single comb true of the muffed as well? I'm just going on what I've been able to find online, all of the examples I see have rose combs. Of course, I've seen other things on the 'net that are widespread and untrue........
Do you know which line of...
Hi everyone, thanks for your additional replies. I promise you that I wasn't fishing around for comments, but am grateful that you responded. As I said a while back, I'd like to start keeping and raising Icelandics. But, I'm not willing to do that until I know that I can keep them well and...
Hello and good afternoon! I have yet another question, and I hope that you all would be able to help me in answering it. In your opinion and/or experience, would it be better to have a run for Icelandics that is completely separate from an existing run, or would it be OK to have the two runs...
Hello, everyone. I've been making my way through some of the more technical information I can find about Icelandics. However, technical information is not practical information. I'll have a question in a moment....skip to the next-to-last paragraph if you'd just like to know what it is...
Hi all....I came across what may be an early source of the photo today while doing some research. It's here http://vikingchickens.blogspot.com/2010/06/viking-festival-2010-hafnarfjordur.html
ETA: Whoa, I don't think I'll be using multiquote too often, that is one big post!
Maybe, maybe not (about the disk space, not Mary being here). Sorry if I'm being pedantic with the below, no offense is meant.
Low disk space might slow things down. A lot of the images used to display a page get stored on our computers. The less and less disk space available, the more...
Well, this is a bit of a bummer. Here I was, excited to see the new layout, only to find that some of the people I'd most like to speak to and learn from need to consider opting-out. I'm sorry to hear that, though I do understand and accept it. Nonetheless, I hope it turns out to not be true...
Hello, everyone. Thanks for your helpful past responses. I have what might be a dumb question, but it is one that's been nagging at me for a few days. Do you have goals for keeping your flock? Do you follow any management practices that help to maintain the breed and increase the population...
Thanks very much, I appreciate it. I realized after I posted that a PM might have been more appropriate. I'll keep any further questions about the org. off of this thread.
Hi all. I've been busy (and so, it seems, have you!) thinking about Icelandics. I ran across the ICPA website the other day. Mary,am I correct in assuming that you've gone from warden to sherriff, and are the contact for the ICPA?
