Try vitamins we give them to all of ours but our SFH HAVE TO HAVE THEM, we have a young roo who we were ready to give up on And after 3 weeks of vitamins no problem.

ahh! bad news! my pretty icelandic rooster is not doing so hot
I noticed tonight that he was walking funny... the past couple of days he has been on the roost a lot, but today I really noticed something strange. His one leg seems strained or injured. He is not wanting to put weight on it and is kind of curling his toes, when we walks he makes it very rigid. I picked him up and streached his leg and flexed his toes and he didn't seem bothered :S. Ever seen anything like this?! I hope he just strained it or something.. ironic that I am in the process of getting rid of my extra icelandic rooster, and the injured boy was the chosen keeper.. I hope I don't need to replace him!

Good ! I'd give them til at least day 18, thats when I put mine in the hatcher. Then give all a good thorough candling.

This is a dumb question, but there are no icelandic "shows" are there? And they are not accepted by the APA as far as know right? I am not interested in showing personally, but someone was asking me about them and I wanted to make sure I gave the right answer! Thanks!

As far as I know, there are not any Icelandic Chicken shows. No, they are not recognized by the APA, they are Icelandic Chickens by DNA, not a man made SOP.
