Good thing they are all going to the same person.

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

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

Yeah you will never hear the end.

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.

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.

Your girls have been busy!!

for a great hatch!!

Wow, that is a lot of eggs from just 3 hens! That will surely hatch enough pullets for my roos. Thanks Laura!

Boston, Nice bunch of chicks!! No mistaking those FBCM for Icelandics!!

Yea, except I did get two pure black Icelandics.. But since the FBCM have the white markings on belly and wings, I can tell them apart.
So fun hatching.

Be sure to take some pics as they grow up so we can keep up with them!!

Hi All

Ref the pecking order and size I see that with Bjorn, he is VERY dominant and the largest, so I am hoping good things from the middle dark feather legged rooster, the white is biggest, and still all over white, actually the first all white I have seen, feathered legged and a beautiful white tail. Looking for a home.

Had a visitor yesterday, grandson of the lady next door, says the roosters wake her. His problem is that this is zoned farm area, so chickens are legal, but its still a bad cloud. I am just here temporary I told him, whether we stay in MI or go north, I'd say its 60/40 towards going north.

Her house is at least a hundred yards from here.

Life goes on, and life is good, and better with Icelandic Chickens !

Home from work. I am dead tired. I really wanted to get outside and get some pictures, as it is to be near 60 today. I think I am gonna go to bed instead.

You all have a great day!
