Love seeing chick cuteness!!

One of my early spring Icelandic pullets laid her first egg today!

I saw her squat for Audun the other day and her comb and wattles are really red so I've been checking the nests....late this morning, BINGO! It is raining here, the remains of Issac, and they are hanging around the coop instead of running all over the place. The younger "low on the totem pole" chickens are out under bushes and such to avoid the pecking order commotion that goes on inside the coop on days like this.........smart youngsters....

They will be the ones that escape from whatever you put them in

Hmmmm, our thread namesake perhaps?

I bet you'll be able to tell your Icelandics from the EEs. If you have dark legs and puffy cheeks hopefully they will be your EEs. Icelandics have a very different body type too as they grow and hopefully they'll have a crest! Of coarse if you're selling them as day old chicks you might be in trouble

Funny thing at lockup tonight.....
I took my little candling flashlight with me. I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte sitting on 4 Icelandic eggs, and I thought I should check them - to see if they are viable. Ummm, yes - they were.

I saw 3 chicks (almost dry, a bit damp), and one egg (I candled it and it is viable).
