Thanks to Kimmie !!

They all are nicely nestled in deep straw and the roosters were welcoming the day at 6 this morn ! They sure look great here.

I am looking forward to taking the two guys to the Michigan Chickenstock in June !

The Isi look alike I call Jr, how not? And still thinking about names for the others. Its REALLY good to have some Icelandics here again !

Life is good ! And better with Icelandic Chickens !

Very nice! Is that a falcon on your arm in your avatar or the most fierce looking chicken ever?

t is a res tailed hawk that I had as a guest at work. Prep for those troublesome Roos

I'm going to be real nice.

Over my five years on BYC, I've had folks here on BYC be VERY nice to me, (The Sheriff, kathyinmo, laree, NotAFarm, SCG, pasofinofarm, and many others etc..) so I'm passing it on. I can no longer keep roos so.....

There is an FFA group in the East Valley that are looking for "project chickens".

So, they will be picking up my entire flock of Icelandics. 1 pretty roo and 9 hens/pullets.

I got them originally to help preserve the breed. While I love watching them and their antics and they are most certainly "EYE CANDY"... with the gorgeous young roo crowing to beat the band each morning and doing nothing yet with the ladies, I decided I'd let them go where I know they'll stay pure and this land race chicken will be preserved.

My wife will miss those pretty little white eggs, (they lay almost as well as my leghorns) but they are going to a greater good.

So to the rest of you... continue passing forward the good!

I hope they do well. Any chance they'd be able and willing to give us updates on the flock in this thread?

to this in 4 1/2 months....and still growing (and crowing)

 

[mlm Mike]

Brad, Looking good.........the cockerel isn't bad either!

...but I could be biased. He appears to have mottling

Does he have any red on his wing bow or back?
