My penguin spree

My trip to the Christmas Factory turned out to be a small shopping spree. These four small glass penguins don’t actually belong together as a set, although Nos. 474 and 475 do and maybe 473 too. I threw in the fourth one because it’s kind of the same. It looks like the two in the matched pair are both holding yellow chicks. Are they penguin babies? Are they Easter chicks? It’s mystifying. Also mysterious is the "OK" marking on No. 486's right shoulder.
