I have some that look exactly like that!

I will upload pictures after I have my satellite repaired and know I can stay online for more than a couple minutes. WildBlue is awful as far as I am concerned. May need to check into Hughesnet.

Trust me.... Hughesnet sucks! Plain & Simple...... poor, slow and sometime no service. I have the same issues as you. I call for repair and a few hours later its back on, I cancel repair and a few days later same problem. I doubt the problem is here I think it is their satilites or something. My service ends in Jan. I am looking for other options....

Me neither

I was thinking aircard. A bunch of people I know have gone that route and are happy with it. I live in the middle of no-where ! Just wide open space with a clear view of the sky, just like the commercial says. I have been praying for DSL to get here sometime this decade.

I am sure part of the problem here is because we live in a highly wooded area. I suppose as the trees grow they will need to realign the dish.

Aircard? I have not heard of that, but will check it out.

Congrats Jake! I am glad they arrived safe and sound.

Here are pics of my Icelandics from yesterday.

I have two like this

Here is my other girl

And the cockeral.. does anyone have trouble with their cockeraks being tempermental as in attacking your shoes or legs? I have been giving him the same treatment that I gave my Welsummer last year when I first got him. I just gently pin him down with my hand and hold him there for a bit and then I let him up. I cannot have an agressive roo, I love my MIL too much.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Laura! Those girls are so pretty!

I have not had any problems with any rooster yet. However, Romeo is a a a a a ...... a Romeo! He drives everyone crazy!

Thanks Kathy! You are just too wonderful for words

The little cockeral actually went after my DH the other day. He has been test the waters with me but like I said I have been pinning him some. I have done this to all my cockerals ever since I had a Welsummer that got too mean to keep.

I hate to see them go if I can do something to prevent it before the attitudes get started.

No new icelandics to take pictures of so...........

Why we call it the Buck 'n Run Ranch!

Video quality is bad. It was pouring rain!

Jake, glad to hear the chicks have arrived in good health! The Icelandic chicken article on wikipedia now has a picture!...not an ideal one though, anyone have a good quality picture of one of your Icelanic chickens you would be willing to share on wikipedia? Thanks.
