Hello Everyone, I have been following this thread for some time now and wanted to show you my Icelandic Chicken, yes just the one for now.
This fall we hope to add some more. Her, pretty sure but new with Icelandics so maybe you could help me out. She is about 7 weeks old.



she has a little greenish tint to her black tail. She is so sweet.

Thanks Molly!

Watch those Icelandics. Two of mine were already hatched when I went to lock them down and they were still on the turner. Overnight 9 more hatched and one pipped and died. The assortment is really nice with no white ones at all. I have a hobble on one little guy who had a leg stuck under the divider rail while riding the turner. I think it will be fine tomorrow. It's the little light colored one that just did a face plant as I took the picture.



This one is cute:



My broody abandoned her 4 Isbar eggs and I found them stone cold. I put them in the incubator just in case and they are all alive and well today. Problem is, I have no idea when they are due to hatch.

Hatched before lockdown... WOW, thats early...
I love the Color Assortment too... my last batch was really colorful as well.
I got a little brown Icelandic.. My favorite so far

I am glad you showed me how to do the hobble on the chicks. I have had to do it two times.. It has worked both times.

Thanks again for everything... it has been nice learning from a Pro...
Take Care of your back. Keep in mind... If you need any help... My son is in town for a while, I could send him up for heavy work...

I appreciate the offer Molly but I am fine.

I hate doing the hobble but when it works it's magic.

Post pictures when you can. We are rabid for pictures.
