Here are the babies more fluffed up and starting to stand up! Not the best picture because the darker chicks blend into that background, but I'll get a better shot of them tomorrow on a light background if I have the time.
I wrote about this on my other thread, but the light chick that's furthest to the left, here, I'm starting to suspect might actually be recessive white instead of Splash! Her beak and legs are just yellow-orange as opposed to the dusky / gray-tinged beaks and legs of the other three, and she's more yellowish than faintly grayish in her chick down. The farm I got all of my foundational stock from has had recessive whites pop up, and I got one, myself, in my original batch from them, so it's pretty likely that the gene is floating around in my birds. We'll see once those feathers start coming in!
