Congrats on getting some Icelandics! I almost wish I had hitched a ride with you...almost.

If your Icelandic roo won't break that bad temper, I would be happy to give you a roo, once the 30 day quarantine pass, and all the birds come out healthy.
Here is how he pecked my nose- I was standing in the pen with my arms crossed, watching them get settled from the trip, when 2 Icelandic roos flew up to my arms, and one of them leaned over and pecked my nose.

It had smarted, but I had a laugh from it.

Geeeze, they were just saying Howdy the only way they knew how!!

Thanks for the offer but I am still considering hatching some. I have to try out my new bator. Are you still wanting Icelandic eggs?

Yes, I still want some eggs from you. I plan to keep all the pullets from your stock for all the roos that I have now, and more are coming sometime this week, that makes 11 Icelandic roos.

Although I will not be keeping that many roos.

Just 4 or 5 total.

He looks purty, and the hens too. How many Icelandic hens do you have?

Wonderful! As soon as I can get the fencing done, I promise you will get some three weeks after.

I have three, two that look almost the same and one mottled looking hen. The mottled one is standing on the other side of the cockeral in the first pic.

Yeah, sure pecking my nose is sure a nice way to say ''Howdy''. I am sure that it had left a mark.

Well, good night ya'll, have to get up at 4 a.m to milk 100 cows at a farm where I work.

Good night!
