Icelandic Chickens

[NotAFarm]

My Easter Hatchalong Icelandics were set on Monday, the 19th, two days late to accommodate some late shipped eggs. I took them out of the incubator and split them up between three broody pullets on Thursday night. When I was out in the coop a bit ago, I tried lifitng each pullet and could hear a chick peeping under each of them. I didn't investigate further but will probably have some pictures later this week.

Mary, I hatched one Isbar chick!! I'm hoping it's a girl!!

I got at least 3 pips on my Icelandic eggs! But the Tomaru Longcrower chick beat them by hatching first, and I thought that Icelandics were suppose to hatch out first!

Congrats!

Mary, was the one chick from the replacement eggs? If so, Yikes, you are having bad luck. Two people just hatched 6 out of 7, and 5 out of 7.

Joyous that is a great looking coop, just near what I need !

Re the Wry necks, I had just the one, this morning it was much worse so I put it down, the other two that came with her seem to be fine. Doing well outside.

Beautiful day here now, sunny, little or no breeze but we had a hard freeze last night.

Spring is here, MI style.

Re wry neck. I've had a couple birds get it, usually the silkies... But I give them poly-vi-sol infant vitamins without iron, and they do just fine. A couple drops three or four times a day for a couple days does the trick. Sorry you lost one Jake.
