I don't know how I missed this thread! They are lovely birds and I am sure you will enjoy them.

Here is a picture of the Icelandics I had up until three weeks ago. (I lost my entire flock to three dogs.)
This is when I first got them and they were in isolation.

I love the breast feathering on that hen...spectacular! Sorry to hear about the loss of your flock. You must be devastated!

My second chick hatched this morning. It is a rainbow of colors! It's little feet are curved probably due to the extra three days in the shell (thanks Brinsea!) but I am confident they will straighten out. It's not fluffed up yet but here are early pics:
