Icelandic Chickens

Hooray for the pips! Good luck with the hatch!

I just checked and I see the pair Mary shipped have processed through Kansas City (90 miles). That should mean they will be here on the noon delivery of Express Mail!

I have had those before and hatched them without problems many times. Mine have been the big "U" shaped aircells. Let us know! I just discarded two scrambled eggs from the incubator this morning. They were my olive eggers for the easter hatch that arrived 10 days late and most broken and rotten. I still have three dark green eggs in the incubator but they are too dark to tell.

Yay! I have been a nervous wreck. I am sure they were thirsty as they turned over every water holding vessel I placed in the holding cage. I was about to say I can't wait for pictures but then I thought, "How silly is that? I just saw them yesterday!" I did mention to you that the pullet will require an ATV for daytime roosting, right? I'm pretty sure I mentioned that. That little cockerel is frisky so I put the divider in to keep him from humping her to death in transit.

I hope they give you lots of crested babies!

These 2 are perfect to go with mine! I have slimmed down to 4 girls and 4 boys. These are of the widest variety! Well, this does not include the few I have growing out, also.

Here are the 8 of them together.....

ETA: As soon as they all get used to their new pen, they will be out free ranging daily!
