How did you come to have Icelandic chicken? Did you live there?

I got hatching eggs,pullets, and roosters from 2 different people who imported from David Grote. I've had those chickens for quite awhile. I recently just added a few more that are from a lady who imported from Sigrid.

Lived in Iceland for 3 years. Never thought about bringing chickens here. But then I didn't have chickens in those days.

Lucky you! Would love to see photos. All the ones I saw were white.

I've never seen Icelandic chickens and I'd like to see pics too. And welcome to the thread!

I put 2 dozen silkie eggs in the slow cooker. 1.5 dozen were blue. Doubting fertility with the temps. Here's hoping

Hot and dry. It's watering weather. I soaked the butternut squash and the patch of shallots and onions today. The remaining snow peas aren't doing much so I'm going to leave them until the vines dry up and save the seeds for next year's garden.

The garlic I hung under the roof of the back deck are drying really well. The tops are pretty much completely dry all the way down to the bulbs.

The second integration try didn't work out. After a couple hours the little chicks were cowering in a corner, so I separated them and will try again in a few weeks.

Yes.

Though hubby did ask if they could be put in sous vide. Had to tell him eggs needed air and oxygen
