This chick is still happy and healthy and doing great! It does not appear to be growing much but it eats and drinks and is super fast. It has a vaulted skull that is bald.
The freaky thing is it appears that she hatched one pure lav orp, one pure silkie and pure polish!!! The rest look like they are mutts but apparently my roosters prefer their own hens!!
I had a broody silkie sit on a bunch of mixed eggs and this one appears to have 2 copies of the fizzle gene. Love the bump on its bald head. It is a week old in this pic. All my chickens are stuck in one big pen while we are still working on the chicken barn...

Thanks, y'all! My horse is a big half draft. Buckskin in color. Each individual is around 6x8 so I will be able to have my 6 lav orps in one, my BBS orps in another, silkies in another, polish in one etc. This is, Wolf snuggling my youngest daughter.
I figured I would post updates as the build continues. My husband is building it for me. It is 20x20 on the inside with 6 individual runs and then each outside run. The large area in the middle is for me. I like to have chairs and a radio. The second floor is a loft and off the back is a giant...
