Description

Icelandic chickens are a true heritage breed, descended from the hardy birds brought to Iceland by early settlers over a thousand years ago. Isolated for centuries, they have developed remarkable genetic diversity—making them one of the most resilient and naturally robust chicken breeds in the world today. These “Icy” chickens are hearty, adaptable, and well-suited to a wide range of climates. Excellent foragers, they thrive in pasture-based and regenerative systems, contributing to the health of the land while requiring less intensive inputs. They are also dependable layers, producing a steady supply of eggs while maintaining strong natural instincts. Just as important to us at The Viking Farm is their temperament. Icelandic chickens are known for being alert yet calm, curious, and often quite friendly—making them a joy to keep whether you are building a productive homestead or simply enjoy having animals that interact well with people. At The Viking Farm, we value these birds for their resilience, diversity, and deep connection to the Viking Age. We offer fertilized eggs for incubation as well as grown hens and roosters for those looking to start or expand their own flock. Contact us to check availability or to make an order.
