Icelandic Chickens

[mlm Mike]

My daughter calls boy #1 "Bluesie" (which sounds to me, like floosie), but I haven't actually chosen a name for him. The speckled one is going by "the speckled one" at the moment.

If you guys have name suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

It's nice to see someone else uses the same naming convention as my DW and I.

Thank you on Elska's behalf for all the compliments to her.

Guess what she is up to today? 

Hints........

• she's an Icelandic
• she started back laying three weeks ago, after raising a couple of poults

Looks like that I got the eggs from her in time!

Ravie, That's a very nice collection of Icelandics.

X2!! Very nice!

Hatched out some Icelandic chicks from my former flock. I think about 5, not sure as I have hatched out lots of other breeds too. I will able to tell as they feather out and move them out of the brooder.

Dar, When crating-up cockerels, I had my "Dreki Jr" in my hands.....actually carried him around around a bit because I was so conflicted as to whether or not to let him go. I don't know if anyone, except maybe Jim (mrheinz77), knows how hard it was for me to let Dreki, Kella, et al go......but, my "mission" is not to keep all the best Icelandics, it's to get them into the hands of people I think will safeguard their genetic treasure...so they went to live in Iowa.....ditto for others I have rehomed. I told myself that I still had Audun and Anna, Dreki's parents, and could hatch another one so it was okay for him to go. Now I was walking around trying to decide if I could part with a second gorgeous cockerel..................I decided not at this time, anyway, was I ready....I know.....I'm a big softie.....but don't tell....
Here is a picture of Falki (Falcon)......looking very much like his big brother Dreki..........
