Rare landrace fowl at Dog Tales Sanctuary in King...

Icelandic Chicken
Linda and I were walking around Dog Tales Sanctuary last Sunday and came across some new residents: Icelandic Chickens.   They have been present in Iceland since their introduction by Norse settlers in the 9th century.   Uncommon outside Iceland, there are three or four of the birds at Dog Tales, and I suppose the expectation is that they will breed.   A very attractive bird, indeed.
Please comment if you wish.
