Icelandic Chickens

[NotAFarm]

I had five white eggs today so it must have been the heat that kept them out of the nestboxes. I know one is Asta's egg because of the size and shape of it. I will try and watch for her egg the rest of the week and see how many she lays now that she is three.


Red, If those two are the same age, I'd say she has a pair from what I can see of the "pullet" in the first picture. A better picture of the head with wattles would help to make sure.

My hidden nest was thwarted. The partial shavings bag was emptied,. so now they MUST use the nesting boxes.

I would think a pair RedIII, but I'm not good at the sexing thing. Don't have much experience seeing pullets here.

Mike, Here's what a pullet looks like.........all Forsaela x Falki daughters.
Gjoska:


Grima:


Gola:



No name yet...

Mary, I'll grab more of her pictures of the pullet later for you to see. They are indeed the same age

 

[mlm Mike]

Thanks Mary. Feel free to ship them here.

Nope, them beauties need to come further north !!!

Each and everyone.

Okay, here are a couple more pictures of the suspected pullet.





I am so excited that Desert Springs got a possible pair from her hatch!

Oh, by the by, Mary, I am drooling over your beautiful pullets, especially Gola

Red, The first picture has me wondering about it....because of the wattles...how old are they now and when were those pictures taken? Any chance of getting a current picture with both of them in it?

On the bad news front.......Forsaela's youngest brood has only 2 pullets (one is blue and is pictured earlier on the bench) and 7 cockerels.........agghhhh!

On the good news front.....looks like some NotAFarm Icelandics will be traveling this fall!

Mary, the pictures were taken less than a week ago. I think these juveniles are about ten weeks old, if I'm remembering correctly. They may only be nine weeks. Somewhere in there. I don't know if I can get a picture of them side by side anytime soon. Christina works her tail off day and night, and her place is somewhat of a drive from where I live. I'll see what I can do, though!

Snapped a couple of pictures of bath time the other day. My Icee babies are one week old, and already enjoying the goodness of dirt!
