Following up on my first message from exactly 1 month ago, tiny premature chicks salvaged on "Bagdad', calcareum 'Fire Dragon', and 'Kramer's Spinrad', all have done well, plumped up and increased in size, giving a gentle tug they are firmly rooted on their own.

While I was puttering about, I plucked 4 chicks on mature 'Butterbur' rosettes, just in case they decide to flower, and potted them up...they had the usual white adventive hair roots looking to touch ground.
LEFT: 'Butterbur" chicks, many much smaller chicks are forming too.
RIGHT: 'Butterbur" chicks potted up. Supposed to rain next two days, will be good for the chicks.
