The Icelanders have arrived!!!!!!!!!!

To Mary and to the USPS for getting them here safe and sound!

I am making my first attempt at posting pictures so I hope they show up!


First we have the boys giving the "eye" to the younger girls........the reason they have separate quarters for the time being.

Second, the boys enjoying their hickory stick roost.

Third, I gave them worms from the yard and then the girls would mob the crate whenever I came near it. Boys were more standoffish but are coming around.

I will be creating a BYC page of my own to chronicle our adventures and will be here keeping track of everyone elses!
Edited because one pic was wrong, but at least they showed up!!!

Pullet that I think is from Henna's egg.

Miss California wannabe.

Line-up.

Big attitude in the baby pen.

Fear in the baby pen.

Stupidity in the baby pen.

Pain in the baby pen.

Oh thanks so much for posting the pics Mary! They look none the worse for wear after their cross country trip. I look forward to knowing when the boys make it to Virginia! No sleep again tonight!

Mary too.

Mary......They are all beautiful. That Magnus is gorgeous! I think the girls in the 2nd picture should be named Aqua and Net.

I love the light colored hackles on the girl on the left, so pretty!

Those aren't Icelandic names silly!

Here's my list of possibilities so far. Maybe Sigrid will pop in and tell me I am all wrong. I do need something I can pronounce though. I got these by looking up famous people from Iceland and Icelandic baby names.
