Icelandic Chickens

Those birds are not very well behaved.

Perhaps you should put real orange arrows where they are supposed to be.

I hear ya Michelle, they don't foow rules very well do they? Luna goes for a walk everyday OUTSIDE the 6 foot run. At least she puts herself back when she's done. And she lays her egg everyday in the bag of shavings on the storage shelf instead of a nest box.

We got the first corner post holes drilled for the new fence this morning.. Can't wait to have it done!! I'll post pictures as we get parts finished I promise!! I'm hoping to get a barn built before winter as well.. just waiting on the bids right now to see if we'll be able to do it this year.

The new eggs from Mary are cooking away merrily.. I'll candle this weekend and see how they are doing..

My 3 nubian doelings are doing great. I cannot wait to get our house built and move out to the farm!!

Throw a single wide mobile out there and move! You can live in it while you build the house.

If it was just me I'd do it!! not sure the DW and 7 kids would enjoy it quite as much in a single wide..

You might be single in your single wide

My apologies.

If I had 7 kids I would move out there in a heart beat...alone!

I am rearranging, YET AGAIN, to pen some breeders that some folks want hatching eggs and chicks from this fall. WHAT A JOB it is, moving around so many chickens. I am building ONE more temporary ghetto coop, too. (Well "I" am not doing it myself. I am just supervising.)

The processing pen is overflowing and they are not yet ready to butcher, but they are outgrowing their pen. Alot of my "grow outs," are done growing out and are at point of lay, too.

Kola is enjoying her reign as Princess for a week in the ENTIRE garage. I am not letting her get her feet and bandages all muddy and poopy. Her new shoes don't seem to slow her down any.

I thought I got rid of the boys (Icelandic chicks), but alas, today I see even more red combs emerging in that pen.

For cryin' out loud, how many boys could I possibly hatch out of that bunch? On a good note, Gypsy is now staying in her pen........ well, momentarily anyway.

Gotta get some pictures...........

Good luck to all of you on your building projects and hatchings!
