My chicks arrived today!-Now With Pics!

I wasn't expecting them until this afternoon, or possibly tomorrow, but at 9 am I got a call from the Post Office to come pick them up. So, I called my Mother-in-law, and she drove with me down to the Post Office, reminiscing about the baby chicks they used to get when she was little.
Luckily, I had set up the brooder last night, except for attaching the hardware cloth to the sides (we're using a converted dog kennel) so I did that in a hurry and got the chicks installed in their new home.
They found the food and water in a hurry, and so far all 15 seem to be happy, healthy and lively.

Last night, I took some pics of the little fuzzy butts, these were taken at 3 days old, and I cannot believe how much they have grown and changed in just a few days.

Right now, I'm worried that its too hot for them to be outside 24/7, plus there are a number of cats who roam the neighborhood. But every day, they get loaded into their basket, and taken outside for some play time.

For those who are wondering what we got, that is a good question. I know what I ordered, but I think that there may have been some substitutions. I'll post the ones I'm sure of first:

Buckeyes there are two of them, and they look identical:

Andalusian:

EE:

Australops, I only got one picture that came out, neither one of the two wanted to stand still

These are the ones that I'm not sure on:

There are two that look like this, I think these are the Delawares:

Pretty sure that this is the Lackenvelder:

I think that these two are the Marans:

And I seem not to have gotten a pic of the two Barred Rocks, I'll try to fix that tonight.

I think this is the other Andalusian:

Not sure on this one, possibly the other EE?
