Icelandic chickens are not firmly standardized in appearance, and possess a wide range of plumage colors and patterns, skin coloration and comb types. Some even have feathers and legs.
Hi. I wanted to mention that the "landrace" aspect of this chicken breed might be a bit misguided. As the article also states, there were no chickens in the wild prior to Iceland's settlement and The Icelandic Chciken was imported from Scandinavia along with settlers in the 9th century. For this reason, the Icleandic Chicken can not be a true
landrace breed. However, the 9th century is long ago now and the centuries of breeding has certainly provided the Icelandic Chicken with some adapted traits that make it special and different from other chicken breeds. The question is if these many centuries of breeding overule the fact that the breed is based on domesticated breeds? Would it really qualify the breed to be categorized as a landrace after all?
