Icelandic Chickens

[Farmerboy16]

Has anyone noticed what time in the day did your Icelandics lay? My Icelandic pullet looks like that she will be laying very soon, and all of my Isa Browns lays their eggs before 10 am, and I let them out as soon they have laid their eggs, and if the Icelandics lays like say 2 pm, and I am letting them out before then, then I will be missing a lot of eggs.
Thanks for any help and info!

Hi Daron! Nice to see you post. Don't your birds go back to the coop to lay?

Well, you know Icelandics like to do....
I free range my flock, so... Not wanting to miss her first egg.

Mine seem to vary, sometimes we have white eggs in the morning, other times they are later in the day. Today, it looks like 2 have layed so far and one is sitting now. They seem to do as they please, one of the things I like about them.

LOL, there is no hiding place in my layer coop-

Its nice to see all of you again.


BTW- that layer coop only cost me about 80 dollars, plus 4 months to build.


I aught to take a picture of POL Icelandic pullet and need help giving her a good Icelandic name.


Well, got to go to work stacking hay at a farm, its going to be hot.

Nice coop!!!!! It's missing birds and poop though. You'll need to be hoofin' it up the ladder and looking in the hay area.

Beautiful coop Daron, I was just thinking you could have rented it out as an apartment with loft.

Awesome coop! We just put away hay yesterday, rushing to beat the rain. It had just started to sprinkle when I unhitched the trailer, so we lucked out there!
