Baby bird says "hi everyone!" She's doing really well and is jumping and perching well

She does great holding onto fingers.....

But she prefers to jump up here lol. I've officially become mama bird and she starts chirping and hopping around when she sees me coming. I even get the wing and tail wiggles when I have food for her lol.

"Where's my food?"

One thing that has me concerned, and I don't know if you can really tell by the pictures, but she seems to let her one wing hang a bit compared to the other. She doesn't really try to fly or anything yet but I'm worried that when she fell out of the nest, get wrong might have been injured. I can't feel anything or see anything so it's a wait and see type thing right now.

Very sweet how will you let her go??? Or is it not gonna happen?

I have a container of dirt and worms in the cage with her along with chick starter. The plan is to release her once I see her finding food on her own in the cage and once I make sure she can fly. But, if there's something wrong with her wing, I have a feeling she may become a member of the family lol. I was watching her earlier when I fed her and when she gets excited and the wings and tail start going, I noticed the wing that I'm concerned about doesn't move much.

I need some help, please. Do you thinks these are hens or roos?

I'm pretty sure my silkie are roos.

I'm not sure what these next birds are. Mottled Cochin? Also, what sex?

Bottom pic is a roo. Best way to sex silkies is wait for an egg or a crow.

Separate them far enough apart that you can tell where the crow is coming from & then put a ziptie on the crower's leg once you hear him.

Ok...cuteness alert...

Yesterday was beautiful in our neck of Penns woods and I opened up the pop door to let the 2 latest broody hens out with their 4 day olds. They have been in their 6x6 broody stall since hatch since the weather has been so horrible and these are both 1st time broodies so we wanted to watch them the first few days...
The Littles weren't too sure about this outside stuff at first...
It looks scary out there!

But eventually the mama hen calls got them out...

They got to explore a bit and checked out the rocks...
