Icelandic Chickens

Where can I purchase some ?

Any hatchery?

Yes, most of the eggs were from pullets hatched in March or April of 2012. Hens were coming out of molts/finishing raising chicks and not laying then.

Sandhill Preservation ships chicks. They have a website.
Behl Farms ships eggs. They have a website.

absolutely! if i remember right the majority of the eggs from NotAFarm were pullet eggs (the only ones cooperating at the time)

Greetings from Chilly Oklahoma today folks!!! i am down but not out! My back has caused me to rethink my life, but I still enjoy my chickens, thanks to my wonderful wife and kids that help do chores! Anyways, it has been a while since I last posted here, as for my Icelandics, AI am down to One nice Silver Blue cock and one nice Black red headed hen that I have together to try and raise some chicks from this year! i have not had much luck with mine thus far, it seems when I do get chicks on the ground the varmints and weather need them more than me, so we shall try try again! I am getting the incubator set up soon and will try to get some eggs from someone to set and hope to get some PULLETS! LOL!!! We got some much needed rain, snow and sleet in Okla. in the last few days and we are thankful for the moisture but I am so ready for Spring!!! Have a great day all! Lynn in Okla.

Huh, you guys do not know what is cold and real snow is like! Its been in the teens and over a foot of snow. Now that is Brrr! We may not see the 50's until late April or May. Its going to be a looooooong winter this year.

y'all can keep all that snow and ice stuff! however, it is a totally DIFFERENT TYPE of cold along the gulf coast. case in point....at the Newnan, GA show last weekend people that were down from Canada said it was cold

Where are you in OK? I´m in Tulsa and I´m Icelandic and wanting some chickens. Would love to help keep the Icelandic bird alive! Wanting 3-6 pullets. I´m in the city so a roo is out of the question sadly. Otherwise I would breed them.

We've gotten a good, heavy winter here this season. Lots of snow and low temps. It was like that when I was little

A month ago, we were actually dropping down into negative temps at night. All my birds got moved into the garage for a couple of nights, since it was so cold that the heat lamp out in the coop broke. It's snowing again today, though it's been fairly light. The last couple of storms that have rolled through dumped a foot or more on us - at least two feet out where my BF is, and that was one storm! I'll see if I can get some pics on here of some of the snow we've gotten, if no one minds. I like seeing what everybody gets

And, we have very dry air here. I get lizard hands even after putting on copious amounts of lotion.

3 weeks should be long enough.......................go for it
