Icelandic Chickens

[The Sheriff]

HI All,

Lukka hatched out her last chick and I am three chicks away from completing the same task for chicks to be shipped tomorrow. I got a wonderful assortment of colors including a black and a silver-grey. Among the group was this little white chick! Not yellow like we are used to seeing but pure white. So pretty!



Three are zipping right now, and two are left to pip but moving nicely so I think they will be out in time to ship tomorrow morning.

Mary, White is right!!

Is this one that you will be keeping? If not, will the new owner be keeping you/us posted of how it grows out?

I think I may hold onto the white chick and see what happens. I am convincing myself to do that by saying it might have the feathering problem and I wouldn't want the new owner to get it. But really, I am so curious to find out what it does colorwise. Should I keep it?

Kathy your chick pics are adorable. There is evidence that Lukka had her babies out of the broody box today! I missed it while waiting at CVS for prescription refills.

I upload to vimeo.com Kathy. I have found it works better. Love the Orps.

I decided to keep the white chick. I put it in the brooder with the week old Cream Legbar chick. They are almost the same size.



Look at how thrilled my Legbar is!



Gotta' go dust the chick down from my desk! These guys and their brooder are headed outside in the next few days, weather permitting.
