So my hubby made friends with a guy who has hundreds of birds. They're very neatly kept on a huge secluded farm and he handles each and every one! (I know that's got to be alot of work so kudos to him!) They're all vaccinated and treated for worms/mites and once again very precisely maintained. We've been looking to add some adults to our flock bc we feel like our roo isn't getting what he needs from just the 3 hens. So my hubby went and got us some birds. But since we've been looking for brahmas and different breeds that we haven't seen a whole lot of we only got 2 adult girls and some juveniles which was fine bc we still have a few littles that needs some buddies. I just wanted to share our new girls (were told even the babies are girls) with everyone and see if any of them need any kind of special attention and if anyone thinks any aren't girls.

We have the following now (including our pre-existing birds):
3(what I thought were) RIR but pretty sure something else (original flock)
Buff orp roo (pre-existing)
3 silkies-2 hens 1 roo (pre-existing)
2 idk yet (pre-existing was told olive egger but when posted on here got a few different suggestions
1 Cochin (new around 2 months)
3 Brahma (new) 1 is close to 2 months white and 2 little babies maybe a week or 2 one is black and one is light multicolored right now
1 lavender English orp hen (new almost 1.5 yrs)
1 buff orp hen (new same age as lavender)

I'll get some pics on here so everybody can see. They're all getting along well. My silkies do their own thing tho. But they sleep in the small coop/brooder with the babies at night so when we rebuild our coops in a couple weeks they will be cooped with the littles.
 
Here's the silkies

Here's the littles. The 4 in the back are the new ones and the 2 closer to the front on the left are the (supposed to be) olive egger ones we already had.
