Icelandic Chickens

[RedIII]

Thanks you guys!  They are sooooo cute with their little crests!  My hatch had mostly crested babies in it.  They are all sweet, but I love the little top knots!  

You know, I just realized today that my last hatch had no crests in it. Whaaaat?! That is unusual for my flock.

Thank you, I forgot to mention looking for a Scandinavian restaurant to sell them to. I like to make organic ice cream, so I'm looking forwards to using my own eggs in it. Viking Ice Cream might be a good seller made from the milk of icelandic sheep and icee eggs. Viking Icee Cream Lol

Gasp! Viking ice cream?!? Mmmm

Laurie, I totally understand your reasons for needing to downsize. I am not very good at selling my eggs, either, but it's mostly because I never wanted them for money (not saying you did ) But you need to do what is right for you. I am still very happy with the two hens I have that came from your flock. One of them is my torpedo launcher, hehe She is my white girl that came from Svana's egg. Thank you for sharing them with me!

The grass is REALLY greener at your house Mary.

I love the idea of Viking ice cream! Yum!


Mary - Your grass is so green! How happy your flock must be with that!

Yes, green and growing....and needs mowing! The chickens love it!

Good morning! I would like you to meet Loki. Loki may or may not have tried to crow twice already. Loki is not yet two weeks of age. Oh, I can tell this isn't going to be dull.....

Loki is a doll, when I enlarged the picture, I thought 'what cute little drumsticks,' Maybe he wasn't trying to crow. Maybe his stomach was growling. Give that boy some breakfast.

Exciting news (at least for me)! When I just went out to shut up the coop, I couldn't find Harpa at first. I found her all settled into a nest box. That's a good sign, right? Not that I need more chicks right now, but I'm pretty stoked!!!

It's a good sign if she is going broody, it's a bad sign if she has decided sleeping in the nest box is better than roosting.
