I'm still trying to figure out my new camera, chances are I've bitten off a bit more technology than I can figure out! I'm not quite at the point where I'm ready to take it back, but I am gonna ask some more tech-savvy friends for help.

I'm gonna do my best to identify who is who among the chicks, so we're working the clock. There's 15 chicks (2 Silkies, 6 Mottled Bantam Cochins and 7 Ameraucanas: 2 Blue Wheatons, 2 Wheatons, a Blue and 2 Chipmunks) in what is really a too small area, but since they are getting along so well, I'm allowing it to continue. The Silkies, babies themselves, have been mothering the tiny bantam chicks. Its quite normal to walk in and see the bantam cochin chicks curled up against and under the Silkies.

The chick looking at you is one of the Blue Wheaton Ameraucanas, at 9 o'clock are the Bantam Cochins, the big black things are the Silkies:

Just go with the concept that the big black foofy things are the Silkies, the shy guy is a Chipmunk Ameraucana and the snoozer at 2 o'clock is another Bantam Cochin:

At the water bottle, a Blue Wheaton Ameraucana and the ever-present watchful guardian Silkie!

Trying for a group shot, very tough.

Finally, a decent shot of a chipmunk! She's drinking from the water bottle while everyone else waits their turn. The grumpy at 7 o'clock is a bantam cochin.

Another great group shot, I finally got one of the Blue Ameraucana. That's the shy one standing tall at 2 o'clock:
