Congrats! I voted Alvin and Simon for the chipmunk chicks because my mom let me name her 3 silkie chicks and I named them Alvin, Simon, and Theodore because if they turn out to be girls I can just add an "a" at the end of their names and they can still keep their names.

I also think your chipmunk chick with the dark eyeliner is a girl while the other one is a boy. This is usually the case with chipmunk patterned chicks.

Are the 3 bigger chicks the ones you got from a breeder? 2 white or splash silkies and a silver pencilled chick? Silver pencilled chicks are my favorite. Is it a cochin or a dark brahma?

You’re so close with guessing breeds! The ones I got from the breeder are—- 1 silver pencilled Cochin, 1 blue splash Silkie, and one unknown mystery breed (not a Silkie cuz it doesn’t have feathered legs) You had really good guesses :D
 
Aww, I want silver pencilled cochins, they will probably be my main breed one day. Maybe the mystery one is an Ameraucana? Is it white with dark legs and muffs?
No, but here are some pictures (in case you know)

Oh I love splash silkies too. Splash anything really.

Also you could probably keep the names Alvin and Simon even if one or both end up being girls. That's what the actress Blake Lively did, her daughters are named James and Wyatt.

It looks just like a black tailed white Japanese but considering that they are not on the list the only thing it could be is a pyncheon, let's see if it gets a crest

Your other chicks are adorable too and mixed chicks tend to be healthier and live longer especially if the hens get broody

Thank you so much!
 
** UPDATE **
The last baby hatched!

So here’s the story...
Ever since day 20 it had a small pip... Yesterday, day 21 it only progressed to the pic I posted earlier... Today (day 22) there still was no progress (well over 24 hours of trying) so silly me broke some incubation rules and helped :oops:
I broke a tiny piece of the Shell of and it was alive... There was no blood so i took another tiny piece off... I only broke enough of the Shell so I could see the whole face... about 30 minutes later a healthy baby hatched! :ya

I will upload pictures when it is dry and fluffy!! :plbb

Oh and it is the only standard sized baby :frow

I’m 99% sure it’s a RIRXblue
orpington ;)

These babies are going to receive so much love!! :love
