    One month old, feathering in, time to try again...

    We ordered the same assortment, at the same time...we're also trying to figure what ours are...lol...after looking at a LOT of images online...I think the chick in #1 is likely a Fayoumi...we have 2 that look like that...I pretty much narrowed the choices down to 2...Fayoumi or Iowa Blue...then...
