I was told these were Icelandic chicks. Is there any way to tell if that is correct? First pic is Faida at 5-6 days, 2nd pic is Faida at 5 1/2 weeks, 3rd pic is Faida’s green tinted feet, 4th pic is Soley at 5-6 days and 5th pic is Soley at 5 1/2 weeks.
I was sold these 2 chicks as heritage breed Icelandic chicks. Any way to tell if that is correct? The first pic is Faida’s green tinted feet, second pic is Faida at about 5-6 days, third pic is Faida now, 4th pic is Soley at about 5-6 days and 4th pic Soley now. Thanks
