What is Cheeky!!

[chickmother]

I think she is a silver spangled hamburg(?) but I'm not positive.. Also how do I introduce her to my year old hens? They have an established pecking order- Paula is the boss and Darwin is at the bottom- I get worried because my other hens seemed pretty ok with Cheeky the chick, but Paula pecked at her the first time I tried briefly introducing them, and then the second time she stepped/stomped(?) on her. Cheeky is totally ok no worries about health , I had her separated for weeks in my room-not very sanitary but it was the only place I could for the few weeks I had her inside- yesterday I actually moved my baby outside and closed the run, my girls are free range so they aren't missing out much, and put Cheeky in there. I think letting them see her but not touch her until she is bigger is a good idea, right? I'm not at all experienced with introducing chickens to each other. All my hennies were raised together! So by now they get along. Thanks for your help!!

Cheeky could be a Silver Spangled Hamburg chick although the legs in pic 2 appear as though they may have a greenish tint to them (Hamburgs have slate legs), but that might be just a trick of the light in the pic. Where did you get Cheeky from? Also, can you get some close up pics of the legs and comb in good, natural light?
