    Breed

    In order to get a good breed of bird you must do your research. Know what you want whether it'd be egg production, meat production, show quality or just pets. There are certain breeds that are great egg layers such as the Leghorn, Sex-Link or Minorca that would not make a great meat breed. There...

    What breed is this?

    It's hard to know what breed of chick it is when they're this young but it's probably along the lines of Belgian Bearded d'uccle, cochin, or a brahma because they have feathered feet. You'll probably get better answers when they are at least three weeks.

    show quality?

    How young are these birds? I'm asking because that features on younger birds change with age and the quality now might be different in the future and it might change some of these opinions.

    Bantam Identification

    Yeah that's funny. I was looking through my standard today while at the Oregon State Fair and I relooked at the Fawn silver duckwing there and realized that they looked much different.

    What bedding do you use?

    Yes Pigeons are totally different. The only thing that cedar could benefit chickens is mite control. But there are better ways to get rid of pests.

    What bedding do you use?

    I tend to use bedding pellets (the ones they often use with horse stalls) all I have to do is water them down and the pellets expand and break apart. This makes it really easy to clean the pens without having to do a deep clean for a while. In my Pigeon lofts I use shavings (Possibly cedar)

    large eggs

    Wow, that's got to be around 3 ounces or more. Which would mean it'd be classified as Jumbo. Which of your chickens laid that? Welcome to BYC! by the way.

    Bantam Identification

    Could be anything. It's hard to say without a picture reference. Do you know what comb she has? Where did you purchase her? How old is she? A yellowish tinge comes from brassiness from the sun or diet.

    Getting rid of fleas

    Hi Welcome to BYC! Fleas rarely are on chickens (there are only 3-5 species I know of) Lice and Mites can effect chickens and cause irritation. To know for sure I would examine your chickens. If you can't catch them try it at night when they are roosting, just make sure to check with a flashlight.

    I need some help please

    What kind of goats are you getting? What do you want done with your goats? Just like chickens having different purposes so do goats. There are meat goats, dairy goats, and pygmy goats, although Pygmy's are considered dairy goats too. Some people even use goats for brush.
