Ok i think i have come up with names for my new additions .. I wanted to do something that honors their Viking heratige and I love the movie these names come from.. Alright the rooster will be called Buliwyf (pron. Bull-vye) and the female will be Wendol. (pron.Vendol).. Anyone guess the movie???

 

[The Sheriff]

I have no guess on the movie. Just wanted to say thanks for posting and relieving my anxiety about them arriving safely. Hoping to see pics soon. The coloring on your boy is gorgeous. I am looking forward to seeing how the pullet feathers out, especially that little crest. Enjoy your Icelandics guys!

Congrats on the new arrivals CC!!

I can't guess the movie from your names but I like them.

Welcome p1gg1e!

Mary, You know how the teacher always sounds on the Charlie Brown cartoons? That's probably what you sound like to Lukka!!

She's thinking .......... "whatever"!!

Three weeks have passed so off to move the quarantined quad of juvies into general population. Hope everyone behaves themselves!!!

Seinna, Mary

I am pretty sure I saw Lukka roll her eyes during that conversation.

Good luck with the integaraton! Keep us posted. Mine have all been good at sticking up for themselves.

Ok you guys really need to see the movie... It is The Thirteenth Warrior .. Buliwyf is the Warrior leader of his clan and Wendol is the name of the Dark Goddess.. I really just liked the name Wendol.. LOL

We nearly had a disaster here last night.

It has been hotter than blazes during the day so I had the kids unplug the brooder lamps as it was 100 degrees without them.
I woke up at 5am and thought 'Ahhhhhh, I bet they didnt think to plug them back in at dark'
Ran to the barn in the near dark and its all quiet. My heart is in my throat and my stomach is turning. I reach my hand into the dark brooder and feel a pile of huddled fluff near the light.
Nothing moves. I pull my hand out of the brooder, plug in the light and sure enough, all the little fuzzers are in a ball and no one is moving.
Panic! I reach back in and start grabbing whatever I can get ahold of...tail, wings, legs. Surely something is still alive.

Whew....as little bodies are being hoisted and gently tossed around, eyes begin to open and body parts start to move.

Thankfully everyone is alive and seems ok.

It got down to about 65 in the night so they were pretty chilled. Will keep a close eye on them and make sure that they are doing well.

What an adventure!

See what happens when you rely on kids? Just kidding.

Glad all the babies are fine. I bet you'll check twice tonight. (I know I would if it were me)

 

[The Sheriff]

Wow, close call. Glad everything is alright.
Is anyone else anxious as I am for Josh to post some picks of his Icelandic pair?

Maybe we'll get a pic of the boys holding them. Hint, Hint.......
