I enjoy seeing the animals on our farm interact with each other. This scene of
Margret with a small flock of Icelandic chickens really touched my heart. Icelandic Sheep and Icelandic Chickens have evolved
together since the Vikings settled Iceland over 1100 years ago. Icelandic sheep were first imported in 1985 and Icelandic
chickens in 2003. It is not that every sheep farm in Iceland has Icelandic Chickens, but when we introduced the new Icelandic
chickens to our sheep, it was as though they were seeing long lost relatives. The sheep seemed very glad to have the chickens,
almost comforted by them. Maybe it was because of all the flies they ate.
