Icelandic Chickens

[mlm Mike]

The Húsatóftir line is what Icelander (on BYC) imported in 2012. The Hlésey line originated here: http://www.hlesey.is/ , I don't know when that line was imported.

A couple of pics of the Easter Hatchalong Icelandics....

Cute Mary, already weaned at 4-5 weeks.

I can't even get my Easter chicks outside yet. I was going to put them in a little 4x6 coop, but ended up using that as a peahen hospital room. We just released her this morning so I need to give it a really good cleaning since I don't really know what was wrong with her. Then I will put the Easter and Cinco de Mayo chicks in there, I'll put an ecoglow in it for the Cinco de Mayo chick.

Wow, quiet here.......I hope everyone is doing well.

Anna weaned her chicks two days after the pic I posted and they are now in with the others. Hers are larger than the others of the same age......she is the best momma hen ever!!

Chickens love to roost high up so they can poop on your head more easily

Nice pair in the front! Love the coloring on both.

Quote: Thanks, I like those two. I'm fairly certain the dark one in back is also a cockerel.

Mike, Nice that you got a pair with such a small hatch! Did you only get one from the Cinco De Mayo hatch?
