Welcome. Fun site. Great people. Lots of information.Howdy,
I was so excited to see other peeps from Washington on the BYC... I just joined last nite. My coop is in the final stage of being ready for me to bring the chickies home, hurray!!! I just got my new feeder and water fountain for them, I hope they like it...
Beautiful birds. Therre are a few on here who raise Icelandics. Welcome. BYC is the best. The people here are the greatest.Howdy folks, I'm on Union Hill and I raise Icelandic chickens. I picked Icelandic chickens because I'm an Icelandic chick myself! Here are some pics of my homestead flock, they're still young, 6-7 months old.
This is Prímus:
And his ladies, Kara, Skráma, and Sirrí:
There are a few more photos in my album, from when they were younger in https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/image/view/id/5224211/album/6120001
They are awesome birds, very active, curious, and friendly. I love them so much, I could watch their backyard antics all day long
Thank you! I'm glad I got into raising chickens, I keep meeting more wonderful people, it's awesome
Asking for fingers crossed & prayers for Salina~~~~~~~~~~~~
RedReiner is in the UW hospital, with severe intestinal strictures, due to Chrones Disease...............she is very, very sick !
She has had to be tube fed for a while..............
Please all give her prayers and get well thoughts !
Thanks !
I don't know her, but thoughts and prayers coming from my house to her's! Wishing her a speedy and pain free recovery!
I've been trying to catch up since I've returned, but still have 90 pages to go!
Got home from Hawaii in the wee hours of Wednesday. Sorry to have brought the cold and the rain back with me again. I will gladly bring it back to Hawaii with me, just take up a collection for my airfare and a place to stay.
People there were complaining about unseasonable cold weather. I thought it was great. upper 60's to low 70's the few days in Oahu and low 70's in Maui. The one place where I did feel a bit chilled was when we were staying in Volcano Village on the Big Island. Up at 4,000 feet the temp was usually between 53 and 63. We had to buy sweat shirts. I loved it there too - funny, almost everyone selling their goods at the Volcano Farmers Marke was a Pacific Northwest transplant! I guess they missed the cold and wet enough to move up that high, and now they make a living by selling huge bags of arugula or basil for $1! I could not believe the good prices at the farmers market. I also bought honey, bread, lettuce, breakfast .... It's an early market, starts at 6 am. if you get there after 7, lots of stuff has already sold out! The market was busy. I was surprised that the low asking prices were enough to keep the locals in Keen shoes and Polartec Fleece. Maybe it was the eggs - they sold for $5 per dozen at the market.
My little tomato plants which I started from seed were less that 2 inches tall when we left, now they are almost 2 feet! Everything in my greenhouse grew like mad, but in the garden, the weeds grew much faster than the vegetables. I am having trouble finding them amongst the weeds. Each bed sprouted a different type of weed.
