I got more chicks!!!

they're growing so fast.
I almost lost the little black chick with the white dot on day 3. I found her out from under the mamma heater looking cold and lethargic. I warmed her up but she still looked dazed and wouldn't eat or drink.
I kept dipping her beak in water and waited for her to die.:hit
Then I got a great idea. I raise meal worms so I put the little sick chick in the baby meal worm bin. She just cried. so I put another chick in with her and it went crazy for the tiny meal worms. She got the idea and ate 2 worms.
The other chick ate so many I took them both out and put them back in the brooder. After a while the little black chick snapped out of it. The next day you couldn't even tell she was ever sick.

Update with pictures

All the chicks are doing great...except the little black one with the white dot. She's acting fine, eating drinking and running around but she's not growing feathers.
I think that she got stunted on

day 3 when I found her cold and lethargic. Or maybe she's just a slow poke.
 
Here what I have. Some are guesses.
All Bantams.

8 black tail white Japanese , One is definitely a roo.
1 black tail buff Japanese
2 black modern, one is definitely a roo.
4 polish
2 dark Cornish
2 white laced red Cornish
1 black rose comb
and a few mystery chicks
 
The mystery packs sound like a lot of fun. We ordered 9 standard mystery from Ideal. Wound up with 3 RIR, 3 Production reds and 3 (more) Barred Rocks. The extra that didn't make it looked like a Production red. Real fun playing "what are you?", isn't it?!?

I am tickled with RIR. Very pretty birds.
