***UPDATE***
Alright, the bad news (I will also post on my Rachel's Hen House on Facebook as well).
Amazingly All birds survived while I was gone on my family vacation. Unfortunately, the person I had taking care of them did not listen to me when I said the Icelandics and Swedish stay locked in their pens.
Tonight, (first time getting to see birds as i arrived late last night and worked early this morning), I saw my 2 swedish flower roosters, and a hen, in my icelandic pen.... and 2 icelandic roosters in my swedish pen....
What does this mean?
it means that I have to wait a month before I can sell "pure" Icelandic and Swedish eggs. Now if there is a market for this very rare cross. I could sell IceXSwed eggs. I have re-arrainged the roosters into their proper pens.
I apologize to anyone who had February hatch hopes.
Luckily, I own only one breed of duck. The Cayugas are still pure.
Trust me I am very bummed about this. I understand if everyone looks to other sources to fill their empty nest syndrome.
