Icelandic Chickens

[kathyinmo]

for fencing?

You should have thought about that before getting emu eggs....sheesh.

Good news though. They like football!

Well actually, they like the cords and buttons on the components.

Oh, they are just crazy! Girls don't like football, they like shiny objects (like jewels)!

I now have 8 out (4 Icelandics, 2 Isbars, my mutt, a wellie) and another Icelandic is fully zipped and trying to push out now. 4 eggs remaining - none with pips. (today is hatch day, so there's still time)

For Mary, here are your Isbar babies - the wet one next to the blue is a wellie that just hatched.

WOO HOO! Come on chickies!

Congrats on the new additions Kelly! Did any of the other 4 hatch? How many Icelandic pullets do you have?

(in the incubator........)

That Blue Isbar chick is gorgeous! Of course Mary hit the JACKPOT when it came to a beautiful daddy roo.

Final count is 9. The other 4 were late quitters.

Here's the Isbar babies:



And the Icelandics - all have rose combs and 2 have feathered shanks:

Kelly, Pretty............but I want to see pics of the Icelandics........please!!!

 

[Happy Chooks]

Look up Mary - it posted before I was done uploading pics. They are all there now.

 

[NotAFarm]

Thanks Kelly!! What a nice, diverse group.........I hope they're all girls.......

 

[Mahonri]

I'm guessing 3 roos, 2 pullets from those Icelandics.

 

[NotAFarm]

Mahonri, Which do you think are the two pullets? I was thinking it was the other way around, 3 girls and 2 boys.
