They're here! :D Picturess (added more)
.. though... they're not all silkies. I'm thinking the 9 that aren't silkies are ameraucana. They're so much bigger then the rest and don't have feathered feet. They all started drinking and eating imedtiately 
some of them see to have a very small amount of poop on their bottoms. Is this pasty butt? And I have one that keeps laying down and just flops it's head down, imediately when I put it down, or even when I pick it up it will go to sleep right away in my hand, even though everyone else is still up and lively! And ideas about any of this?

They are so cute and I am H A P P Y that you finally got them!! 
Yes, that would be pasty butt. Get you a tissue and pull it off. You can add a little oatmeal to the feed to help this.
Yes, they do appear to be EEs
As for the one that doesn't seem as lively, maybe he's just getting a slow start. Put a little sugar in the water and dip his beak in it. Make sure he is eating and drinking. If you need to entice him into eating, add a little chopped boiled egg yolk on top of the food.

Okay, i will add some oatmeal 2 their food, and i think i might have found the 2 little boogers im keeping. 2 little white silkies. One is slightly larger then the other, and the smaller one has a little bit of brown at the end of her fluff.. im just praying they're both girls.
