Icelandic Chickens

[mdale]

Hello everyone, I am hoping someone can tell me if these are roosters or not. They are my first icelandics I have 3 of them they are about 2 months old.

the first one I beleive is a hen, the other 2 I think are roosters but I'm not sure

It's been a while..............Howdy everyone! Thought I'd pop in for a hello.

Courtesy of a predator on Monday, I'm down to 1 Icelandic hen. I also lost most of my Barnevelders. 13 birds taken out at once, so awful. I've done some reading and I believe it was a fox, as it had to climb a 6 foot fence and slip between the netting and the top of the fence.

Thank you. It's heartbreaking to lose so many at once. You go for YEARS without issue, then surprise, critter attack. My dog is making it rethink it's meal plans. I saw it through the brush yesterday morning and sent her after it.

Thank you Not A Farm. I put a nesting bucket in their coop last night hopefully theyll get curious and figure out what it's for when theyre ready.

Any eggs yet?!

@HappyChooks is very good at cockerel identification...hopefully she'll give her input on them!
None of the color patterns look "male" to me and none have much color on combs or wattles.

So sorry to hear about this!

Notafarm - Aww, the chick and grandkids are cute!

snhchick & icylady - have you identified the gender of your mystery chickens?

My hen that started laying at 16 weeks & stopped @ 18 weeks is still not laying now @ 20. The other 2 are not laying yet either. We have been in the 90s most every day so Im just hoping its too hot and I know they still are young. I keep searching the property for hidden eggs and haven't seen any either but as small as they are it wouldn't be hard to hide really good!

Here is another pic of the new additions. I have had them for 4 weeks now (time flies) so they should be approx 8 weeks. Still looking like hens

NotAFarm - cute pictures of your grandkids and chickens!

mdale - They all appear to be females by coloring and combs.

No eggs yet. ugh the waiting is going to drive me crazy. Both of my hens have red combs so Im hoping any day now. I moved them to a bigger coop w a run so I hope I didn't stress them out too much. They weren't happy their roosts are much lower. They we're complaining last night. lol

Still no eggs Im sure I'll be more excited than a kid on christmas morning. the anticipation is driving me crazy!
