Icelandic Chickens

Beautiful! They are fascinating because they look so different. I am so staying with this thread to see how they change as they grow.

Congrats!!!!!! Here's to baby #3!

I am apparently your thread killer.

Can we have pics of the babies in their brooder pulllleeeez? I wanna see them.

ETA: how many days until the next one is ready to hatch?

No, this thread isn't dead, I'm watching it, too!

I love the idea of Icelandic Chickens, Iceland is a place I want to go to someday.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread as well. I think almost everyone wants to stay abreast of the Iclandic Chicken's progress.

Okay, here is some Icelandic cuteness for this morning. Had to make booties for the one that hatched yesterday. Toes were curled around and under. I think it is due to low temps during incubation and being in the shell three extra days. Brinsea's response? You should send it in for service, oh, and by the way, we aren't honoring your warranty because you didn't mail in the registration card. WHAT? I have already had warranty work done? Tough luck, no card no warranty! So I contacted a local consumer advocate group to go to work on it for me. If you sell a product in CA it is illegal to withhold the warranty if the card isn't returned. I am getting less and less enamored with Brinsea every day. In fact I am getting downright angry.

But anyway, here's the cuteness!

They are both gorgeous. I just love the coloring of the one on the right.

Sassy, huh?

I love that pic of the 2nd baby hatching out of it's egg... adorable!

ok... so here is your stupid question for the day

If they are both Icelandics, why are they different colors? Do they have a variety of colors they come in? Or can you tell hen from roo by coloring? Sorry for the ignorance, but I am really interested in this thread and these chicks!!
