Stella's Social Club

Very sorry Mary. It's hard to lose your old friends.
Do you still have Stella?

Yes, Stella is still around. She is getting up there in age too though.

Thanks Mary. A lot of blue Icelandics in the US came from Lukka and I am glad for that. She will live on in that sense.

Yes, robhuncor I still have Stella. I have no idea how old she is but I have had her since April 2009.

I think Dusty is broody. She was in her "usual" laying spot (not a nestbox

) and when I tried to check for an egg under her, she tried to take a chunk out of me. She's sweet as pie, until she goes broody.

Kelly, can't she just tell you "don't bother me." Beaks should be registered as weapons.

She lives on in my flock, and in the flocks of those I have shared birds or eggs with.
Here are two photos you sent to me of Lukka and her chick, my Ari. He brought blue to my Icelandics.




Ari at 9 months old:




Both Drekki and Falki are of Ari's line.........and Kella and Elska.........she lives on........

Thank you so much Mary. What a kind thing to do.

Lukka's obituary is HERE on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration Diva.

I too had a bad day yesterday, and lost one of my hens to sour crop. It's the first time I have ever had a sour crop in my birds. I had been trying to treat her, but I guess I was too late. My son named her Stormy, and she was a spitfire for sure. She was a mixed breed olive egger and a great layer.


She is the chick in front here with her mother.

Very touching.

Ditto.
