This is Prissy. She's a barred Plymouth Rock bantam. She's 9 weeks and loves the camera!
My wife and I are first-time chicken-owners and first-time BYC posters. Received our babies Thursday 6/5 (on our 15th anniversary no less!) via My Pet Chicken (fulfilled through Meyers). Three Buff Orps, one Black Australorp, one Barred Rock and one White Rock. Five came out of the box all excitement and wonder. One, our White Rock, barely came out of the box alive.
Being first-time owners and researching BYC much in the past weeks, we concluded severe shipping stress and gave her a little extra TLC. She wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink...would just sleep on her side and cry pitifully when the others stepped on her or pecked her. My wife fed her with a dropper and managed to get some nutri-drench in her. She started showing signs of life. More coddling, more calories and finally she seems well on her way to thriving. She's much smaller than the others, a little slower to catch on to new things but getting stronger everyday. I've affectionately albeit inappropriately named her Shortbus...she's tiny now compared to the others (even at only 5 days old), slow and at times she appears very mentally-impaired, but she's my favorite (don't tell the other five!) and I always seek her out. She's easy to spot in the attached pics...she's a much paler yellow than the Buffs.

Hooray for shortbus, she's a little puffball of adorableness! I hope she continues to thrive in your care 
Super Cute!
The light silkie is after a bug. She is the best bug catcher I have ever seen.

I LOVE her! So precocious! Love the name too, we have a pullet named Miss Priss because she is so aloof and better than everyone else, of course (at least in her own mind).

Oh wow, Prissy is FABULOUS! Such striking color, I love it!
Haha, silkies crack me up at any age! I was thisclose to getting one when I was chick shopping but it slipped through my fingers. I hope you post progress pics as they grow!

10 of Sundays hatch.
The other 7. Look at the silver guy. Something tells me my blue copper Marans and finally saw some action
Mostly salmon faverolles mixes. Well really they are all either salmon faverolles mixes or easter egger mixes since those are my only hens at the moment lol. But sometimes the EE roster is getting the salmon hens... and I guess is possible that the salmon roo is getting the EE hen. Who knows. All I know is most have straight combs. And the ones that look like Salmons but with the EE chipmunk striping have pea combs... there's at least one in each hatch
