Icelandic Chickens

That was really fun Cheryl. Why no mention of BYC or did I just miss it? You just helped the chicken movement out a lot by making it look fun and hip. Good for you guys!

Mary did you notice the plate I served the egg on, was the little set you gave me!!

It's the best way Jake, my chicks get introduced to all the cats and dogs right out of the bator. My other dogs understand what is off limits, the cats actually guard the chickens and kill wild birds and rodents that enter the yard, but this one dog... She is TOTALLY alpaha, and as much as I tried to teach her proper manners and etiquette she just won't listen and learn. Sad for her, I've known her since she was an hour old, but I'm done. If I had stopped to grab a weapon yesterday this would all be acedemic by now. I wouldn't have hesitated.

I emailed Lisa about guardian dogs and she sent me the link for National Great Pyr rescue. I'll be researching a new dog.

Mailed sat and just arrived door to door!

16 beautifully wrapped eggs in what must be the best packaging job that I have ever seen ! They are sitting on the kitchen counter right now, coming up to room temp, incubator is to temp with temp of 100 and humidity of 39.

I'll put them in around 6pm and then sit around and watch them for signs of pipping !

Michelle, all my dogs have been alphas until this BH came to live with me, she loves to play but she will learn MINE from day one, she knows what it means now for other stuff, and my cats will do the same, Missy the older one will mother most anything. I would only worry about them if one got out and they wanted it to play.

If you get a LGD Michelle, either makes sure it has been with livestock if its older, or get a young puppy and raise it with the chickens, next to them , she has to be a member of the flock. If you get a grown dog raised as a LGD you are in good shape after it is introduced, BUT, a LGD that is grown and hasnt been raised with livestock can be as bad as any other dog.

This going to be a good month !!!

Good luck Jake. The girls started cranking out the rest of your order yesterday. I hope fertility is still good. Isi and four cockerels are working hard at it. Keep us posted.

Bummer, I only get the advertisement, not the actual show footage.
