Cleaned the brooder box today and brought the girls out onto the lawn to enjoy some sun and fresh air. A good time for photos although they are tricky to get in focus, they move so fast. The first three are now almost 5 weeks old and the two little ones are almost 2 weeks old. All have flower names, naturally. 
Oh, hello there, says Poppy the Easter Egger. She has such pretty markings already and the biggest feet.
Rosie the Rhode Island Red, sweet and curious. She's got these white 'feather dusters' left from her baby fluff.
This is Violet, the Blue Laced Wyandotte. She is a busy gal, foraging, dust bathing, flapping and speedily rushing around and sporting cute eye 'makeup'. 
Last photo you can see the difference three weeks makes in the size of these chicks! They grow so fast!
The two newest babies really complain when I remove one and leave the other behind, chirping loudly for each other. They are best buds. 
Daphne is the Blue Orpington, she is a creamy color with grey legs and whitish wings coming in. I was surprised at how pale she is since they are supposed to eventually be a medium slate with dark lacing and a dark slate neck. We'll see. She a little sweetie, very calm. Fluffy chick butt, that last photo. 
And this is Lily the Speckled Sussex. Very curious, loves to explore & forage, she found a dead bug in the lawn and was thrilled. She has such cute markings. She's eyeballing the camera in the last photo.
