Hey, all!
I wanted to apologize for not communicating myself correctly when I posted here last. I didn't think my post was demeaning of Icelandics at first, but when I showed the post to a friend and asked her opinion, she helped me to see that I had sounded a lot more demeaning than I thought. In essence, I included my own judgment of Icelandics in my own question about Icelandics, and I'm sorry for not asking my question without proudly boasting my ignorant opinion
However, I did do some "homework" as Jake Levi called it, and followed that link Happy Chooks the Mod gave me, and I see even more how I was wrong about Icelandics. I did not know that, though Landrace fowl, they have become far more than barnyard crosses: they have become their own chicken! I was drawn into the history of Icelandics, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that their isolation has bestowed them with particularly strong genetics.
In summary, I am now a supporter of the Icelandic cause, and hope that you all will be blessed with much success in preserving these chickens here in the States.
I hope you can forgive me for any rudeness I have expressed.
