Icelandic Chickens

OMG it just hatched. It's a blondie and already it is looking at me through the plastic wondering why I am not holding it already.

 

[Jake Levi]

So hold her already !!

There may be 2 lunatics (chickatics?? ) in 2 days, but will do what we gotta, I will still be there early, and leave my cellphone number with them. When they are here a drink for each as they come out of the box. Gotta be.

Leave it in there Mary, hopefully the cheeping will encourage the other one to hatch! If not, I'll pray for a quick broody for you!

H Jake-
You asked about my cat-His name is Bob and I picked him out at an animal shelter 15 years ago. He is a medium haired cat-he may have some Maine Coon in him. He IS big, about 14 pounds and he has diabetes. So, for the past two years at least-he gets special cat food and I give him an insulin shot twice a day. He's very spoiled. He is a little miffed about the chickens-they are getting a lot of attention and he's not too happy about that. Good luck with your new arrivals-they sure are cute!

Jake and Mary... Officially it was 2 days for the chicks to get to me from Kathy but they made it next day about noon... Jake I'd definitely make sure the post office has your cell number so they can call you whenever they show up... Best of luck!!.. One more week till mine come!!

Thank you Sir

That is what I am hoping it will be, I know that they get a truck mid day and again around 4, and I will see them in the morn as soon as they are open to make sure that they have my cell phone, and will be hanging around the village in the morning anyhow to run errands etc, and pick up more Turker Starter for the little guys, the older ones get broiler starter now.

KC Farmer Maine Coons are great, my favorite domestic cat, I wish that we had some breeders closer then I know about , seems most are a half a days drive. I have a maiden long hair that I would love to get a Coon cross litter from before she is spayed. It may not be, but , other things are going well right now so ya never know.
