    Icelandic Chickens

    Hi all! I love keeping up with this thread. There is always something interesting to read and of course I love all the pics of everyone's beautiful Icelandics. On a non-chicken note, I love Mary's blog and her recipes! Mary, I made fish tacos last night for the first time ever using...

    Hi all! It's been a while since I have had free time to lurk on this thread ( 1 of my very favorites by the way ) So I just spent 2 hours reading and catching up! Mary: I love your videos and photos, so funny! It is just like my house except I never have a camera with me to catch all...

    I am soooo glad Mary is back to this thread. It was really boring for the few pages she was gone. Now it seems back to normal, my kind of normal at least. Oh and Laree the helping of Crustache's eyeball vent situation sounds so "normal" to me too. I am glad I can fit in somewhere. My...

    Quote: Yep. I had one climb our fence grab a hen and climb back over to try and get another faster than my DH could run outside with his gun in his cowboy boots and underpants. No Lie. I was mad and sad the hens were killed but I sure did laugh my butt off after the dust had settled. It...

    Quote: X2 Mary, I love reading your blog and this thread. You are very good to all of your animals. I sometimes think of how much spare time and less heartache I would have if I lived in the city and didn't have animals, but that only lasts about five seconds. I LOVE ANIMALS! I would...

    Quote: I though about a LGD before I got the donkey, but I was so scared about actually finding a trained one that would not eat my chickens. I know they exist, but they were trained with other chickens and by another owner, so how do you test them out on your own flock?? Sounded too...

    No of course not Mary. But seriously I really hope it works, because that would be the greatest "herd" ever put together.

    Thanks for the quick response Mary . The donkey and horse share one side of a fence with the chickens so they have been slowly introduced. But the geese just get introduced when we are around. Having a "safety zone" is a good idea. Maybe when we free range we can put up horse panels just...

    Mary, I have a non-icelandic question but it does have to do with chickens Have your donkeys ever went after your chickens in any way?? I have a mini-donkey and she is just 1 year old. She has been great around the chickens and my 2 geese. I was hoping she would help keep predators out of...

    Mary when you put your broodies into the Inn, how do you manage the food and water (room service) ?? I have a crazy broody right now and need some pointers. She is in a similar little hutch thing and I put her own separate waterer and food bowl in there. But when I open her door to change her...

    Icelandic Chickens

    I'm sorry about your neighbor....that really is a sucky situation. Our neighbors dogs killed 4 of my chickens a few years ago. I was told by the game warden that If a dog is after my livestock I can shoot if I need to. I wasn't about to do that, because I couldn't imagine living next to...

    And the nest pads look wonderful for taking out and hosing them off to clean them....instead of me out with my kiddie sandbox shovel scooping out poopy shavings from each nest box because my hens like to lay an egg, use the restroom and then leave. I will go check them out for sure, thanks...

    Quote: No worries, I am self-employed so the only way I can get fired is if I fire myself. I run a daycare out of my home and had only 2 wee ones today. So while they played at my feet or had naptime, I read.
