Margret with Icelandic Chickens
Oil on wood panel (sold) Available as a limited edition Giclee Print 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.
