Well, shoooooot, I don't even notice the combs anymore!

BUT, I DO notice the crests!

 

[kathyinmo]

Just one boy with a crest ........ (and one girl) ....... would be great!

Icelandics are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get!

Variety is the spice of life!

Of course. I have a white girl with a nice crest and a couple of beautiful multicolored roos to choose from. They are older than the babies in the pictures. The boys just started to crow in the last few days and the girl's comb is very red. I will take pictures of tomorrow. I have to go to Sacramento on the 12th for a Dr's appointment so I could send them then. That is the closet location for shipping live birds. I would need to order a box though. I haven't shipped for quite a while. Get back to me after you see the pics.

Edited to add: This is a crummy picture but I am talking about the goofy roo in the front and the white girl with the crest.

Mary, in the picture of your 5 week olds... I love the fancy "do" on the 4th from the right.

The hatch of eggs from Mary is now 18 days old, and because I'm getting more chicks tomorrow I moved them to the big-kids brooder out in the garage. They are feathering out with some interesting colors and patterns. Hopefully I can find a few minutes to snap a few photos of their scraggly selves. Still just the 3 mohawks, but some could be late bloomers

The eggs from Kathy are still perking right along, developing nicely.

I kept 4 EE's from my housewarming hatch and yesterday one of them crowed

I didn't hear it, Tom did, so hopefully he was mistaken or it was a hen with an identity crisis. If so I can get her some therapy, I am only keeping pretty hens that lay colored eggs and Icelandic roos so here's hoping there was a mixup

I have a 360 mile round trip tomorrow, we're driving down to see Tori (aka Mrs AK-Bird-Brain) to deliver some chicks, pick up a variety of birds and tour her coops. Tom's on the hunt for ideas before we start designing my newer, bigger coop

Good Night
