I'm hoarding all my Icelandic eggs right now so my son can color them.

RedIII I've tried several times to watch your video - all I get is the message "an error has occured please try later." It just doesn't like me.

really dark with little bits of slightly lighter... hard to tell because it is clear at the back of the incubator... doesn't sound that bad I know but the back is 3 feet from the front...LOL

Yeah I'm not sure what's going on with youtube lately. I'm sorry

Did you try the direct link I put underneath it?

Fun! The chickie I currently have is from a cockerel and pullet that both came from your flock - She's black with slightly-lighter brown striping. Feathered legs, looks to be a rosecomb. Gray eyes. I have been dying to get either a black or a white Icee, so I'm very excited she hatched out!

I've got about a million six dozen eggs sitting on my counter right now, all from the last couple of weeks. I was going to color them for Easter.....then looked at the different colors I have and wondered how well they'd hold up to dye. It will be an interesting experiment, methinks?

Brown eggs color better than you think they would. Green and blue eggs are great for darkening the colors. My kids were able to get Army Green eggs using them. But I like the size of the Icelandic eggs for hard boiled eggs - they are the perfect size.
