Here I am just Happy Chooks or Kelly - no need for fancy titles.

Sometimes it is hard to express yourself on the internet in the manner in which you intend. However, it was not your post alone that got people riled up. You are not the first to come to this thread and say they are mutts, or worse - you are, however, the first to apologize. It takes a lot more character in a person to apologize when they've offended someone. I think your apology comes across as sincere so

for you.

Danke!

I felt it was my duty--and privilege--to apologize. I got to thinking about how I have felt when people have misunderstood or knocked gamefowl, and I realized that I was doing the same thing to the Icelandic breeders. I was, in essence, a hypocrite

MARY, did Diana the Diva have her December photo shoot yet / have I missed seeing it?

Glad to hear the eggs made it to you, and are all fine. Hope they are all fertile and we get a good hatch rate.
all outdoor water containers were frozen solid, 7inches of ice!... so I added smaller water bins inside the coop, but those too froze about 1/2inch deep even with the 250watt heat lamps on all night.
Guess its time to order some more of the heated water buckets! I currently have 2, one for goats, the other for the Icelandics.
Oh today I got 4 FBCM eggs!! which means all 4 hens layed today. woohoo that was a first!

Or you could make some. Check out the cookie tin water heaters https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=107951 I used some last year and they really work. I just made three more.

Of course, The Diva looks stunning, as usual!

 

[The Sheriff]

Thanks Kathy. I lied to her when she asked if that was a Christmas tree skirt she was wearing. I told her it was a cape.

Mahonri, what a sweet picture! She is a real cutie.

Gresh, thanks for doing the research on the Icelandics and changing your opinion. That speaks to your character and we appreciate it.

Oh heck I forgot what else I wanted to address.
