Since it's been an age since I ordered them and posted this, they are 3 Easter-eggers, 2 Green Queens, a Delaware, and a Sumatra.

Among the three Easter-eggers, it looks like I have a splash, probably leaky or perhaps partridge- or birchen-based because she has some reddishness on her forehead that's easier to see in person than in this picture:

What looks like a blue partridge type coloration:

And maybe a silver wildtype or wildtype/partridge split? I need to brush up on my chick down colorings again!

Look at those beards

Anyway, the Green Queens both look like they're partridge-based, one gold and one silver. Both have small beards, light leg feathering, and look like they will have small crests. They're also visibly smaller than the other chicks, though not small enough to be bantams, which I thought was interesting. I almost thought the gold one was a Mille Fleur d'Uccle when I first saw her!

The Sumatra is such a pretty baby She has a two-toned beak, one side jet black and the other blue-gray! She also already has this look on her face like she's 1000% over everyone's crap

And the last little one, the Delaware, is just your basic yellow chick, but she's a cutie nonetheless

They're all perky, bright-eyed, and growing accustomed to their brooder, this whole eating and drinking thing, and their next-door neighbors the silkied Cochin chicks, who are like 4 times their size and absolutely terrified of them despite that These guys seem HUGE for day-old chicks after all the bantams I've hatched the last several years!

Names to come later. Since they should all be pullets, I have a theme picked out and some names rumbling through my brain in that theme already

Oh my goodness they're adorable congrats on the new additions!
