Icelandic Chickens

[Mahonri]

Went to the feed store today to relieve my two broodies.

I got 2 Leghorns, 3 EEs and 3 Australorps. I gave 4 chicks to each broody. I hope they accept them.

I tried two weeks ago with the one that had only been on the nest for a week and she rejected them.

I put the chicks under the mamas tonight in the dark.

Hit 102 here today, MUCH too warm... but I took the two youngest swimming and then cooked them some burgers (and me a steak) on the grill. #4 & #5 are at a dance tonight. Got the family room AC fixed and it's nice and cool inside. I even turned on the AC unit in the main coop from 2 to 6.... it made it bearable for them.

I hate the heat.. I only got 6 eggs today.

Any one want to win some Icelandic eggs? or Blue Isbars from the Sheriff? or Cream Legbars from Greenfire? or SQ Silkies from CJsSilkies? or one of 67 other prizes? (mostly rare breed hatching eggs from great breeders on BYC)

Click the link in my signature for all the details... or PM me if you have a question

Thanks!!

Great video Kathy, thanks for sharing,

I looked and couldnt find the Icelandic

The little guy obviously enjoys life, and its neat to see how the emus accept him as a normal part of their environment, and vice versa.

Fun video, with a pond that size I'd be spending a LOT of time fishing, and showing the little guy how to.

Great video Kathy!

Mary - that Icelandic on the far left looks like one of the girls I hatched out. They are all nice colors!

Here is a picture of the first Icelandic that Jim (MrHeinz77) hatched from one of the trios he got three weeks ago.
