Icelandic Chickens

Oh Mary, she is as nice as her name.

I have an English-Icelandic/Icelandic-English dictionary that was a gift to me from BYCer coldupnorth.. I use it and a website of an Icelandic Sheepdog breeder that has lists of male and female names. Here is the link http://www.spurdann.com/index.html On the top menu bar, chose Dog Names. The nice thing about the website is you can click on the names to hear how they are pronounced. Here is the most recent picture of Hæla (this is the proper spelling of her name, I don't always take the time to use Alt + 0230 on Microsoft to spell it properly).

Thanks for the links! Great info!

So very cool, only have chicks, but have another 11 eggs in the incubator due on June 6th. Have in 9 the brooder and so I'm happy about starting a new flock.

Mary, where do the eyeliner chicks come from?. I see Asta has one, and so does Hola, maybe Anna will have one too. Just curious - wonder what color they grow up to be.

The eyeliner is part of the "wild type" coloring. Those usually are a duckwing or partridge pattern. Males and females can each have the eyeliner so it is not specific to one sex.

Here is one of the Easter Hatchalong chicks with eyeliner at a few days old:


Here he is today:

Thank you Mary, I would never expect that coloring to develop from the eyelash chick. What a handsome guy.

I so MISS my Icelandics.

Thank you all for keeping the breed alive and for posting all of the pics.
