Icelandic Chickens

[drumstick diva]

Kathy, love the chicken on the first mat but, overall love the second mat better because it is easier to read (for people of a certain age). What talent, I'm envious.


Mary - beautiful fuzzy butts. Do the front two yellows look male-ish to you?

Is that a black spot just above the beak? Very cute.

Very festive!

It might be a tad late for me to get a doormat.

Yep, it is Deb. It is a patch of tiny black feathers!

this guy kinda looks like my curly....

Those little wings are adorable Mary! My little chipmunk baby is growing wing feathers so fast it is drooping. I am not Kelly but given the vibrant color of that little one, I say boy. Probably look like Little Man. I had several that looked like that.

They are Icelandic's Daron! You never know what you are going to get. I am excited to see what Lukka hatches. The two I have on lockdown has pipped the inner membrane and it peeping like crazy. The other egg which is a lot bigger still has blood in the veins. The little cream legbar egg that I had to wash because it was covered in dried yolk from a broken egg, and then I shoved my thumbnail through it, is doing great! I patched it with packing tape because it had an actual hole instead of a crack. I cut some of the tape away because Kelly didn't think it could zip! These 3 are due to hatch Thursday but I think one Icelandic will be early.

Our turkeys didn't come in today and I am a nervous wreck about it! I hope they get here nice and early in the morning so I can lay some love on them! 16 Sweetgrass were shipped. 

I know, but its just very cool to see different colors that a Icelandic pair can throw, unlike say, Buff Orpingtons....

I am waiting for my order of turkeys to come this week too!! Bourbon Reds!

On Sunday, I have culled almost all of my flock. Sold them as meat birds. I have over 300 eggs saved, some of them are Icelandics. But most of the Icelandic eggs are Johanna's, the other two did not lay well. I had initialed the Icelandic eggs to which hen laid them, for I had 1 hen with 1 roo in each pen.
