Icelandic landrace chicken is a true heritage breed, which history is dated back to the 9th century. They were brought to Iceland by settlers, and selected by farmers by being capable of feeding themselves and hens of mother skills. They were imported to the US after 1970s. The study in 2004 shows that Icelandic chickens own different DNAs from other modern chicken breeds. They come with a variety of plumage colors, comb types and skin colors, which is the best choice for persons who want to have one breed but a colorful flock.
Icelandic chickens are also a perfect choice for small homesteads.
