Icelandic Chickens

[Happy Chooks]

Nasty storm here today. High winds and going back and forth between rain and snow. Snow level is supposed to keep dropping. Even the chickens won't come out.

Home for lunch and to feed some mealworms to the new ones! Here's a pic and back to work!

Guess we are lucky here in Al with a very warm winter and no snow.

Love the chick pictures Mary!

wow, this thread died today... I guess we are all feeling badly for joyous and daron.

Went car shopping with #2.

He really needs a car in UT... but he may have to use a bicycle for a while.

DW plus #4 & #5 are out for a few hours. The house is so peaceful!

My NYD chicks seemed disappointed in me today when I didn't have any cheap whole wheat bread to share... I'll bet they have the feeder cleaned up in the morning.

Have a fantastic evening.

luv y'all,

M

I was thinking the same thing!

I need to report to The Sheriff that I candled my three Isbar Eggs. One non-developer, one blood ring and one that looks good but has a very wonky aircell.

My five new Icelandic chicks are doing great! Krystal is proving to be a great momma to them so far. I'm really excited to see that one of the chicks is different than any I've had before. I am so hoping for a pullet so I can keep it. It's the one at the front in this picture.

What is with the constant scratching lessons?! I change the waterer in their coop three times a day! It's too cold to let them out of the broody coop yet, so Krystal is teaching them in the coop. It's about 3 x 5 but bedding ALWAYS ends up in the water! I just hope the little chick peeping doesn't send a bunch of them into broody mode!!

Don't worry about me! I am going to have my Icelandic flock yet. After feeling sorry for myself and nursing a rotten cold...I just kept looking at that incubator...I made some revisions so that I can't make the same mistake again! I still can't help but feel bad for the chicks I lost, but I learned a lesson that will not be repeated. I am just getting to know you all here and already feel like I have some great new friends. I also admire Daron, who has gone through so much tragedy, but is determined to succeed! I am enjoying looking at all your pictures and am more sure that Icelandics are for me!
