THEY ARE HOME !!!!!

All in great shape and absolutely gorgeous ! Quiet, right now filling up on turkey starter and being looked at closely by those of the feline persuasion, the two older gals that babysat the others and then kept them company in the run and when out ranging, and the two Purrkids who are fascinated by them ! Lil Guy wants to play with them.

Me too, hard to tear myself away to write this !

The little pullet was the first to find the water and now the other two guys have joined her ! All is well !

The pictures didnt do justice on them before, even with Marys Master Photography ! The pullet is pure beauty, the bigger rooster is clear white, so far, and the other is white base with some dark striped feathers on the back, its going to be a great show watching them all develop ! Each one so different !The hens are now laying 4-5 eggs a day so there will be two omelettes every eve, or one big one divided ! I have them on the turkey starter which did so well for the others this year.

And did I say anything about their being featherlegged ??????

They sure are ! She shows it the best because hers are dark but both of the guys are feathered right down the feet. It is going to be fascinating watching that develop.

Two out of three are crested, she and the splash white cockeral, the bigger guy is no crest that I can see as yet.

I will get this sent off, and be back later, I do want to get up to the feed store and get a couple more bags of feed because we have snow warning from today through the weekend. Better stocked up well then sorry.

More later !

Mary I am near ecstatic, thanks so much !!

Life is good and better with Icelandic Chickens !

Now to find the right Icelandic names !!
