Yeah, it's super cute. But with that comb, I bet it's a cockeral!

I think so, too. I think one of the light ones is male, as well. That would be a great start, two of each! Doesn't really matter at all .... I am just so humbled and honored to have these special chicks!

Imagine all the color possibilities you'll get with 2 different color roosters and 2 different color females!

Mary, I'm so sorry.

I opened the egg today and the chick was fully formed with feathers, but looks like it died 5-7 days ago.

Oh, I am soooo sorry to hear that.

She went to all the trouble to get it here, and it died anyway.

Life goes on Kelly. Thanks for trying. I will have plenty for you to get some rally nice ones. 16/18 are viable in the incubator from my second egg source. I am so excited to see what I get out of these.

Note to Kathy. Icelandics have weird combs so I wouldn't be sure quite yet. I am not sure if the combs develop slower in females but I do know they can have wild and funky big combs. Your babies are adorable!

We got home today and I saw my Icelandic babies for the first time in 2 weeks. One, who showed no sign of a crest at all, has a huge reddish crest! These are like Teenage Mutant Ninja Chickens so expect anything. I can't wait to feel better and haul mine back up to the house for photos.

Back to pain meds and bed.

Thanks for posting and keeping the dream alive.

p.s. How's the coop coming along Kelly?

It's been raining while you were in the hospital, so not much. Hoping to get the walls up soon. We have a busy weekend this weekend, so maybe next weekend all the walls will be up.

What do you sell eggs for? I am dieing to get some! When I first read the article in Backyard poultry magazine I contacted the man it had listed. I did it over and over but I never got a response.
