Enjoy !

Nope, I wouldn't want to ruin Mary's excitement.

What would she have to talk about without Stella?

Great info Jake, I have seen several pictures now of Icelandics with beards/muffs, is this a rare Icelandic trait or due to crossbreeding? Heres a link: http://countingsheepfarm.blogspot.com/2009/09/our-icelandic-chickens.html also there is a pic of a white, brearded, Icelandic on the aviculture europe article.
