Well, of the 3 Amigos, I am betting the one with the crest and the attitude is a roo, his tail feathers are pointing up like a roos
and he definitely has an attitude,
he is the dominant one of the six, and a major flyer too, just for the fun of it
, the other two chipmunks tails are flatter and point down, one is quite friendly , likes her head and neck stroked. Just like a girl. I hear tell.
The roo is the first one that I called Speedy, it still fits, he is getting two dark splash marks on his chest, the other two are devloping attractive barring across the wings and backs, of the 3 little ones still have the one white with a bit of color here and there, a dark chipmunk and the black with white splash on the chest and several white primaries . Otherwise its quite dark, six little beauties, possibly the prettiest Icelandic chicks ever !!
A LOT of diversity !
Speaking of attitude, Mary is going to be sending me some chicks around the first, and says she can include two 3 month olds, a roo and a pullet !! If I want !! Do I want to breathe ????!!! They will get max TLC, but I cant really believe she is willing to rehome these two ! They are gorgeous, both crested and the Roo obviously her prettiest of all her Roos ! Blue even! Maybe a grandson of Lukka ! The pullet is crested, and boy does she have attitude !! So, the Levi hacienda may well have eggs in August ! It is also going to have a gorgeous flock of Icelandics ! Mary you are a major Jewel !
The six merry minstrels also love fresh glass, a small handful, clipped with the kitchen shears to 1/2' pieces, they pounce on it, eat a bit and scatter the rest with their scratching, fun to watch ! Just like the big guys !
So nuff, walking on clouds today thinking of the newbies coming ! Plus all the new little guys ! They will get their totes while the others get to enjoy the remodled chicken house.It will hold 25 chickens plus a ten by twenty covered outside run, for a starter. Its going to be a great summer !
