Icelandic Chickens

[NotAFarm]

Okay, here are some "what color will they be when they grow-up?" real-life examples-

Here are pics from The Warden of my Icelandics before she sent them and some I took today

The two girls were part of this brooder group

This is a pic of them before she sent them, June 2010

Here is Anna today-didn't get a good front pick (she was on my lap and too close) but you can see she has a single comb and her color

Here is Asta, she has a sloppy rose comb

Here is a pic of Audun with his hatch-mates, he's the second from the left

Here he is before she sent him, June 2010

Here he is today, one from each side

Here is Ari as chick with Lukka, mom

Here he is before she sent him, June 2010

Here he is today, full body and close-up

Mary,

Audun and Ari are stunning. That is why I never count the little white splotchy guys out! He looks gorgeous in the snow.

Are Icelandics a "broody" breed?

OMG look at the comb on number 3! Number 2 definitely looks like it will be crested.

OMG these roosters are Gorgeous!!!

Are they the parents of the eggs you are sending me???!!!

I worked on some pens today, not finished yet but in progress,

part of these pens will be a huge pen and house for my Icelandics when bigger and maybe I can let them free range some from there!!!

I can't wait to get some chicks from my incubator, have some due on the 23rd!!!! Lynn

Most of mine are still pullets so I don't know yet. They definitely go broody and make good Moms, sometimes a little too good like my sweet Lukka, Supermom.
