Icelandic Chickens

[The Sheriff]

I just listed my first auction for 6 Blue Isbar eggs on the new BST Forum. Wish me luck!

Check it for me please Kelly!

If you get chicks from Kathy, before she ships them, she whispers in their ears and tells them that they need to go broody when they get bigger.

Has anybody heard from Camelot Farms

Has anyone heard from ChickieLady? I know she was up to her neck in Washington weather - tons of snow, then rain. I hope she's okay and just really busy

Well, I had moved the remainder of the NYD hatch chicks from the Laree Brooder into grow out pen #1. I just went out to check on them and there are two or three Icelandics that just can't leave the deformed toes of the SFH pullet alone. So I took the two SFHs and put them back into the Laree brooder. I may add the Wheaten Am and the Lavendar Am back in with them tomorrow so they aren't so lonely... or perhaps #29 too.

Will they ever leave her alone? I once had a Salmon Faverolle hen with toes like that on one foot. There were a few who didn't want to leave her alone but eventually they out grew it.

They have to get over it by February 2nd when I have to put the new babies in the Laree brooder.

Did you try booties Mahonri? Probably too late now and for sure they wouldn't leave the booties alone. Darned Icelandics!

I just took her booties off and the 'straight' toes immediately curled. I figure she's gonna have to move on with live without the booties.... Those Icelandic chicks at three weeks were looking up longingly at the 5 foot high roost in the grow out pen. Unbelievable! I think they'll be roosting up there in two weeks. Watch and see!

I like hatching with broodies for so many reasons,

that some of yours go broody soon! I hope you had a great girls night out!
