Icelandic Chickens

All three on your lap

they're not spoiled or anything are they?!

Looks that way. Hope mine has a few.

Sorry I haven't posted.  My hatch of 10 Icelandic eggs started yesterday and continues today. I think my temp were a little low 99-99.5 so the hatch is somewhat late.  So far I have 7 hatched, with another one pipped and two do nothing.  Hopefully I have 80 percent.  Better than I hoped.  Will have some pics tomorrow.  Have a couple very dark chicks.   One with black feet.  Very cool.

Congrats on the chicks out so far!

Hello! I grew up in the UP of Michigan. Best place on earth.

Redlll- pretty chickies! I love the red and gold chicks! Hetta is a goldy and I have a new cockerel that looks just like her. Mine will jump up onto my lap if I sit on the ground long enough. I came outside one day to find my DH with about five perching on him in different places, sitting still as a statue so they wouldn't all run away screaming. It was pretty funny!!!

Cheqchicks- welcome!!! Icees are the best! I'm in Central IL, so not too far away!

Turkeyrangler- fingers crossed for your hatch. Please post some baby pics when it's all over!

Ok, guys- Behl eggs and Sigrid eggs go into lockdown today. Keep fingers crossed for me. I have eight under a broody, so it should be interesting to compare hatch rates. Nervous chicken mom here, though!

Just to check my math- I set them on a Friday. That means day 21 is Thursday which means day 18 is today, right??? Can't ever decide if I should count the day I set them as day 1 or not... #chickenproblems... Lol!

Kathleen, If set before noon, count set day as day one. If set after noon, start with the following day as day one.

You will be having chicks soon! Pictures will be needed, make sure the camera batteries are charged!!

Fingers are crossed for you Kathleen!

Well, still have two in the bator, but I candled and no internal pip or movement. Going to leave them another day. Who knows, something might happen. Here are a few pictures of the 8 that hatched Saturday and Sunday.

In with 6 guinea keets that I picked up last Wednesday.

I love the yellow ones with the darker color mohawk stripes!

Hope you have a great hatch kathleen.

One of mine from a hatch three weeks ago that started out completely yellow is now basically black with bronze highlights. Never had any chickens like this before. Lots of fun.
