Icelandic Chickens

[Happy Chooks]

Big boned, yes, that is what I was thinking.

Double smack

One for being a smarty pants and one for being right. (I have been going back and forth over that darker chick) I went out to have a look again, and they both have little wattles coming in.

I think my mutt is also a cockerel, the 2 white Icelandics are boys, so I'm up to 5-6 so far out of 11 are boys.

PS....... Don't get the Delawares and the Icelandics mixed up.

She's speaking from prior experience here.

Congrats on the babies!

Laura, Congratulations on your hatch! YAY, 14 new Icelandics!

Who would ever do something like that?!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't my fault though. Someone must have been "helping" me.

I have 14 Icelandics babies and 8 Delaware babies in the brooder. I think I did ok for my very first hatch. I set 42 eggs, tossed 11 on day 10. That left me with 31 and I had 22 hatch.
I will be setting the last of my Icelandic eggs for Daron later today.

Great job Hillbilly Hen! Can't wait until your eggs hatch in a few days!

Gorgeous chicks.

Thanks everyone. I think I can tell the Dels from the Icelandics. They are more yellow while the Icelandics have a slight bit darker tint....I think.

Just set 23 more Ice eggs and will add any that I get tomorrow and Saturday.

That's what Kathy thought.

It was fate, really. That's how Laura ended up with Icelandics in the first place!

Off to work.............. bye.
