Very interesting.

Make one. It took me about 30 minutes to put mine together and only about $20 or $30. Hatched many eggs through that thing before I invested in a commercial one.

If you go to www.haena.is using Google Chrome, it does a pretty good job of translating.

Here is the link for the article on Icelandic Chickens.. http://www.aviculture-europe.nl/nummers/10E06A03.pdf

THANK YOU THANK YOU! I will check those out. Looks like I've gotten what I could from this thread, so I will try some Icelandic sources. My sister lived there for years, so she can help.

Thanks again to those who helped, it is a fascinating subject. Anyone who wants any information if I can get anything "firm" on the genetic uniqueness of these birds, PM me and I'll keep you in the loop.

Regards,
