Sunny (aka Scooter) and Lulu are almost 4 weeks old!  They have grown so much and have beautiful feathers!  Cousin Riley got to visit them over Christmas! 
Here's Scooter (he scoots around in the box so fast, Dad renamed him):
 

And here's Lulu:

 
They both have feathered feet, extra toes, some Silkie-like feathers, and are getting Silkie combs (walnut combs).  We added on to their brooder box yesterday, making it 6 inches taller so Sunshine can stretch out tall and the little ones can grow.  I think they like it -- I hope so, it's going to be a while before they can go outside.  They love to eat yogurt, Chicken Oats (we sell them on ebay), and of course chick feed.  They still crawl under mom at night to sleep, she's like a big warm blanket with feathers.
 
 
The outside chickens are laying eggs like crazy!  We have 2 heat lamps going in the chicken coop so the water stays unfrozen and the chickens stay warm. 
Happy New Year!
