Icelandic Chickens

[Happy Chooks]

My really bad fray (or whatever it is) girl I was going to rehome, as she's smaller (looks like a roadrunner) and tends to be by herself a lot. Also I was worried about her being weak and possibly being susceptible to illnesses. (or being a predator magnet here)

But the last 2 nights I've gone out to the coop and she's roosting with the big birds. Now I'm conflicted. I don't know what to do.

Well, I'm not breeding them, so that's not an issue.

Hey, check out this big ole egg I got today from Olive. Massive sucker! I've never had an egg this big before.



Next to a large fowl welsummer egg:


Poor girls gotta be sore after that one.

Congrats...love to see what "x" becomes!

My Cinco de Mayo Turkeython hatch is done....well, one Campine egg is still in the 'bator but I'm thinking it's done...I had 6 Icelandic set to be "turkey tutors" and 5 went to lockdown and 5 hatched. You know how on a treasure map "X" marks the spot? Well, in the pic below, "X" marks the treasure of an unusally colored Icelandic chick!! The two on the left are also Icelandic tutors and the one on the right is a Bourbon Red poult learning what food is about from the tutors!
