Welcome back Kelly x 2 .... We have missed you. While you were gone I hatched a gazillion little cockerels!

If anyone here is interested in them, speak now ..... because coming this next Friday they will be butchered. Small, but I am not gonna continue growing them out. I would say I have between 20 and 30 ready to go.

Be gentle, Kelly. This is his first time.

OK here they are

Roo#1 His name is Jörðin

His is dark, has a rosecomb, a couple feathers on his feet and a bit of a tuft

Roo #2 His name is Vindur

He has quite the tuft, waddles and what I call a "wavy comb"...

Roo #3 His name is Eldur

He is an Isi clone but he is real tiny, much, much smaller than Vindur. He has a few feathers on the feet.

Possible pullet #1

"Her" name is Blettur.

One side has the dark spots, the other hardly any on the other. Has a little tuft.

Possible pullet #2 "Her name is Snjór

She has a little red and a dark spot or two and a tuft.

So what do you all think?

Do I have them pegged right?

None that look like the beautiful Lukka.....

Perhaps next hatch? I hope...

 

[kathyinmo]

I agree with you, but wait for Kelly ..... she IS the expert!

If you are gonna hatch my eggs, be prepared! I get about a dozen boys for each girl!

Well, hopefully I'll get a girl that looks like Lukka.... so I'll hatch from your eggs!

What do you do with all your boys?

Are we eating Icelandic boys or rehoming them?

I haven't yet, but my plan is to butcher and eat them. This next Friday will be processing day of a bunch of little boys if someone doesn't want them.

Great job on the pics Mahonri! Vindur is quite the looker!!

Mahonri........I think you have it right. Vindur looks like he's doing the combover.
