Icelandic Chickens

[mlm Mike]

Your little Icelandic chicks are really coming along. What are you using for a heat source?

We talked about naming him, but haven't come up with a name yet.

How about Breiv? It means brave in Icelandic.


mbmess.........adorable babies. You have a nice variety of colors.

just a 125 watt bulb.... I've done this batch different from my others and don't know if it is the stuff i'm doing differently that is better for them or if its is just the breed.

Will know with the bantam rocks that just hatched this week. I'm giving them sand/dirt/mulch from my compost pile to dig through in there cage. Also giving them lots of green (alfalfa buds) they love it.

they are already doing ariel chest bumps....i guess chest bumping on the ground wasn't fun enough

Oh, that's a good possibility, thanks.

Nice group Brad!! They do feather quickly. I only saw five individuals in the photos but six in the group shot. Who'd you miss?

Mike, I second Breiv!!

there are two that are almost identical in appearance/markings, with one just being a shade darker than the other so i might have skipped posting it.

but it might be this one.

Thanks Brad for posting those! Next time you take pictures, make sure you get some straight on face shots so Kelly can tell you how many cockerels you have!

How on earth did I become the "expert" on sexing?

I think you were born with "the gift" but it was The Sheriff that bestowed the title upon you!
