Icelandic Chickens

[mlm Mike]

I couldn't wait any longer. I woke up and went out in the garage to candle that broody's eggs while it was still dark. I found one with a live chick inside! And it had pipped the air cell! It was chirping and moving when I had the light on it. COME ON, BABY!!! Both your mama's need a baby!!

I couldn't find the other two that had developed a good ways, though, so I don't know what's going on out there. Found three more that are developing blood veins very nicely. Waiting through today to see if I have a chick is going to be so hard!

for you and the Icee chick. I saved looking under the OE till after all the chicken chores were done this morning....2 chicks under her and the 3rd egg had quit within the last couple days or so. but still....2 chicks! this was the first time using a broody hen.

love that i didn't have anything to do except sit on my hands and wait for them to hatch.

Congrats. on the two chicks.

I am looking forward to a season of a lot of new flocks and lots more chicks !

Life is good, and better with Icelandic Chickens !

That's nice. Same kind of day here. The blue sky and sun makes it looks like it should be warm outside.

My 3 Icelandic chicks that I hatched from my flock this past weekend


The 4 Icelandics that I just hatched from NotAFarm

*I ended up helping a couple because they were cemented into their eggs - one is going to need a boot&hobble to help with its one leg

And the 4 German New Hampshires I hatched from NotAFarm - Humidity was a problem this hatch so I lost a few of these
