Mrs. Fluffy Puffy I suggest you sponsor one for first time hatchers!

Quote: Yes, they are from Iceland.
Yes, when they are not broody, and mine are broody often.
White or tinted.
Icelandics vary since they have not been bred to any standard. Many, but not all, hens have crests.

Here is a link to an article from a European magazine about Icelandics. It includes alot of pictures. There is also a thread here on BYC in the "Breeds, Genetics, Showing" forum.

Questions and comments about contests being run by Nifty and Lothiriel are supposed to be sent to lothiriel.

These are any sponsored by Brinsea and Southland.

Well, 259 pages, is no small feat. This has been fun, but I'm going to get a bit of sleep. I'll read the next 20 pages when I get up, I hope there are only 20 pages to catch up...
