So that takes care of my backup roo problem! Its funny both my single comb ones are speckeled. I am combating an eye problem with the hen. She has a lot of drainage in it. I have been flushing it with tea bags and keeping it wiped clean around it. Also put her on terimyacin in her water.

I would love to help ya, Jake, but my eyes just aren't as good as they used to be. I need some new glasses.

I had a day old chick (shipped to me) one time that scratched it's eye on the shipping box (I think). I used Terramycin Ophthalmic Ointment that I bought at the feed store. It worked great. Good luck with that.
 
Jake, These pics are for you! Here is Bjorn, I posted some pics of his feathered shanks when he was younger and these were taken yesterday. He has very small feathers on the outer side of both legs. None of my other Icelandics have had this much feathering. I hope you'll be able to add some like him to your flock next year.
