Pictures of thyme, Hazel, and Tzipporah. (Apparently Hazel and Tzipporah are camera shy)

Look at Thyme's crest. Ginger's (other silkie) is smaller, and she's smaller overall.

Cute chicks!

Update:
So I just went to check on them and spend time with them. They're all doing good. I was holding each one of them and petting them to get them used to being held and touched. Gladys, Tzipporah, and Samantha handle it the best. Ginger was pretty good too. But as I was holding Tzipporah, she decided to calmly poop on my hand. I turned my hand. It SLID off my hand. It landed on my shoe. Thanks Tzipporah.

The chicks gave me a heart attack. I went down to see them, and they COMPLETELY panicked. I've never seen them so panicked. They were squishing themselves into the corners of their box. They finally calmed down and seem completely fine, idk what happened. They act as though nothing has happened, except they may be slightly more nervous than normal.

I adopted another chick today. She's a buckeye. Right now she doesn't have a name.

She has a really bad limp, so I'm afraid to put her with the others, both for her getting trampled and I'm afraid that it could be contagious.

Update: The new one is doing good and has a name: Hazel.

I think thyme is a male

Very nice, my friend had a parrot named Zipporah

Update: The flock's looking pretty good
Samantha: She has decided that it's very enjoyable to try to fly from one end of the box to the other. I think she's gonna be a handful.

Thyme: Thyme is getting on my nerves! He loves to peck me, but freaks out when I reach for him. He's trying to dominate me too. I stand up tall, stick my chest out, and look right at him. He gets a look on his face like, "Uh... never mind," and backs off.

Hazel: She's walking pretty good, but her vent area is swollen . I've been treating it.

Kenisha: She's getting calmer when I hold her . She once held on to my finger with her foot like a baby grabbing a finger . It was a rewarding feeling because I felt like it was a sign that I comforted her.

Not much to report on the others.

Tell me, do any of you feel this way?: Part of me is excited for them to grow up. Not so much pasty butt, less worry about enough heat, and its exciting to see what they'll be like when their grown (except thyme). Yet, part of me wants them to stay adorable little chicks (I kind of miss them being one-day-olds). Oh well. Better enjoy them this tiny while I can.
