Icelandic Chickens

[The Sheriff]

Welcome Barrdwing! I was hoping you would find us. Thanks for the sympathies on the rat. That was quite a shock to find that yesterday. I guess we are lucky living in the fishbowl. The properties that border the creek have it worse than we do. I suppose I could get a barn cat but they can be bad with chickens and chicks as well. Hopefully eliminating the entry points will eliminate the problem.

Yay, Kelly says I have a crested girl!!

Hillbilly Hen, If you get eggs from Mary, you could have one that looks just like him!! She hatched him and sent him to me as a juvie last June. He is quite the handsome guy now....and knows it!! You look like you have quite the variety already......beautiful youngsters!!

Laree,

Nice cake......(taking note that I'm not nearly as far off the edge as I thought)...can't wait to show my daughter who is learning to deocrate cakes! She's always looking for ideas!!

Great news that so many Icelandics are hitting the ground all over the country!!!

Cool cake Laree! You have too much time on your hands, wanna come help me get my garden ready for planting?

 

[LarryPQ]

yes.

 

[Happy Chooks]

Well, come on over

Gotta go start up the tiller.

I love planting and tending, but hate all the work to get it going!

 

[LarryPQ]

I dont mind all that. IT is the battle against Phx crab grass that gets me.

Shawn's new chicks! 8 have hatched, and I see a couple more pips. I hope they are out and ready for shipment SOON! If they aren't ALL out, I am sending the ones that are.

Look at this first one ..... do you see hairy legs?

YEA on the chickies Kathy!! I can't wait!!!

Here's a picture of some of the day old pheasants with a 5 day old FBCM

BTW Kathy, I hope you have a strong mailman!! The box of chocolate I sent today will give him/her a hernia if they have to carry it very far..

Shawn,
9 are out and 2 more working hard on it. Express Mail leaves my post office at 5PM. I have a heat pack I am putting in the box. Day 21 begins at midnight tonight, so (as usual) the Icelandics are early!

On the chocolates ..... just think how heavy I am gonna be!

So THAT is what a pheasant baby looks like! I have never seen one before! Very cute, they are!
