Icelandic Chickens

AAARGH!

Got my Icees from Chickielady. ALL the cockerels are so lovely, how can I choose which 3 to keep. Always supposing MGSU will let me keep more than one. He wasn't happy when I told him I was getting them (late last night, but after some wine), he doesn't like them.

Oh well, I don't need to decide until Saturday.

See, without "The Standard" all I have to go on is how pretty they are

There ya go!!!! Sounds like a great idea to me. It is great for those people who must have something to see, yet at the same time it says, just about anything goes! I like it!

And while this may seem a bit redundant, there are some "stupid" people out there, so

Legs: 2, one on each side and APPROXIMATELY THE SAME LENGTH AND WEIGHT, BOTH THE SAME COLOR.

Same for wings, one on each side, set in same place, same size etc.

Tail: rumplessness a DQ

"cus, ya know someone will come along and say, "Well it's not in the SOP, so my Hunchback, one legged tailless bird is fine!"

Nice Kathy! I wonder how long it will take for me to get the first message about there being no stand for Icelandics.

Mahonri, did you get six eggs or twelve? cuz I didn't get ANY!

Speaking of which, eyes, has anyone ever paid real close attention to color variations in their eyes?
I have noticed dark brown (chestnut, not deep brown as in Javas or Australorps) gold, red/orange....anyone seen any others?
