Icelandic Chickens

[Jake Levi]

THose are a beautiful set of chicks Kathy, it'd be hard to send them off for me. Real hard !

My darkest chipmunk is the smallest by a long shot, half the size of the other three, eats, drinks, just way small.

My original hatch with Kola and Koppur (small vessel), I thought for sure Kola would be the male! Kopper was always smaller until they reached maturity.

Very nice chicks Kathy!! Can't wait to see mine!! (still nothing from the PO....

)

In other news, Chester the goose hatched this morning with a little help.. I'm amazed at how thick his shell and and membranes were!! My 4 year old thinks he's super cute..

and I've also almost got our friends little coop finished.. just the ramp, food shelf and small details now.. should be able to have it all finished in time for Mother's Day..

Nice work on the coop !!

Who gets it, how many?

The goose sure filled up fast with food and air !!

My littlelist guy gets all the time it needs to catch up, or not, I am sure it has genes that we need.

Day 19 on the new hatcher set, so far all temps stable and humidity at 65%.

Good morning all!

Just reporting in that my eggs are still egg-like.


OH! Quick question: Ok, so I know the joke is Icelandics pop early, but HOW early? When should I unplug the turner? Day 18 like normal? Day 16 to be safe?

I hatch them just like any other breed. They are usually one day early, but not always.
