I hatched a dozen eggs from the David Groat line of Icelandic Landrace chickens and got almost all roos. They were born Nov 27th so they are medium sized mature roosters. Since they have started pulling out one another's little mohawks and fighting over z' women's and I have to get rid of all but two. I have put arrows in the photos of the ones that are for sale. There are approximately 1,000 Icelandic Chickens in the USA. At a future date, after we build up our flock and the hens get broody, we will have pullets as well as hen and rooster sets since they are the ultimate survivalist/shtf chicken as they prefer to feed themselves and care for themselves but are still considered 'domesticated'. These are not 'lap chickens' but they are not mean at all either. They are independent and self sufficient.

Íslenska landnámshænan - "Icelandic hen of the settlers."

Considered an Old World treasure, Icelandic chickens were brought to Iceland by the Vikings in the 9th century AD and were found on most farms for centuries. Indeed, one of their Icelandic names -- Íslenska landnámshænan -- means Icelandic hen of the settlers. With the advent of the commercial type chickens, the Icelandic breed was nearly extinct by the 1950s. All the birds now existing ( estimated to be around 5000 ) are descended from a very small group of fowl saved in the 1970s. The Icelandic chicken is significantly different genetically than modern chicken breeds. According to an interview with the former president of the Icelandic preservation association (Júlíus Baldursson), a 2004 study of blood samples from the Icelandic chicken, done in Britain, revealed that 78% of the DNA of the Icelandic chicken was unique and could not be found in any other chicken breeds in the world. It is for this reason that crossing with other breeds is strongly discouraged, once crossed, the offspring and descendants from these crosses can never be considered Icelandics.

"Keeping them pure is the only way they can be preserved. They have been around for over a thousand years. We must be responsible keepers of this treasure." - Lyle Behl

A landrace, with no set standard, Icelandic chickens come in a variety of plumage colors, comb types and skin colors. They're excellent layers of richly flavored, ivory or tinted colored eggs. The perfect farmstead chicken for those that like to have the diversity of a colorful flock, but want to keep just one breed. Known for their hardiness, prolific egg laying and docile nature, Icelandic chickens are adaptable to many climates and thrive in almost any type of management program. They really shine when allowed to free-range and are capable of foraging for much of their own food.
