We had one like that a couple of weeks ago and it turned out to be a pullet. I think it was inate protective mother instinct...lol
She would bite and hang on. It was awful. Little snit!

I too have been bitten by more pullets than cockerals.

How does everyone feel about a free forum just for Icelandics?

I can set one up if it's something you woule be interested in.

We can have seperate threads for breeding hatching, behavior, ect just like here
but it would be all Vikings all the time

(this was partly Andy's idea)

Mary, I have a problem with that too! I believe in everything in the Bible right down to loving my enemies, but I find myself wanting to just beat the hell out of some folks sometimes! This would be one of those times! Then, I remember that forgiving helps me more than anybody else and I pray for Jesus to put that in my heart to be able to do it and He always helps me. I'll pray the same for you friend!

Andy in Fredericksburg just waking up!

Hey KATHY GOOD MORNING! I'm trying to figure something out.... yep you know me by now...LOL

If I alreqdy asked you this please forgive me. Among your chicks I have a mottled or two and that looks like mottle genes in the pics but I don't have any mottled in my chicks from Mary, and Sigirid said she never had any mottled Icelandics although Lyle Behl does and did. Did all your Icelandics come from Mary? and did you get them before Mary mixed her birds from Marty with her RALA birds? Ultimately all this means is did the mottled genes come from Lyle Behl's birds via Marty's line or other lines or was there a recessive mottled gene in the RALA line somewhere. None of my RALA birds from Mary have any mottling at all. Hope you are haveing a great morning, I am just a sipping coffee to get my brain going! Wish ya lived right next door!
