Is anyone here have chicken in the city? Does your neighbor complains?

I have chickens in the suburbs. No complaints so far what’s the complaint?

Ok i need you guys to help identify chicks omg. Tomorrow is kiddos bday, so she now 4 chicks.. chicken math insurance because she can keep 2 once we know who is what! We are using the original very large brooder cage (rabbit hutch).
So... the lady ordered a mix of frizzle bantams, and assorted feather footed bantams...
Question1.... do some feathered feet come in later, rather than hatch time? These are 2 days old.. but 2 dont have feathered feet. I wonder if she got the assorted bantams instead.
Also, i realize you cant really tell who is frizzled just yet... so i went w aiming for poofy feather feet... i don't even know if you can tell who is what at this age.. but.. ill tell you my hopes on 2
Chick #1, this is mama's pick.. i hope hope hope its a blue cochin, frizzle or not, id be so happy! But now i realize, it could be any blue something.. at least i think its blue..View attachment 2348646
And i swear my hands arent that gigantic, the chicks are teenie tiny!
Chick #2, is this a buff cochin?

#4 has me a little worried.. seems to be walking on its tippy toes.. has fallen over a couple times and couldn't flip itself over. I added sav a chick vitamins and probiotics, dont know if that will help. Everyone is eating and drinking fine.

If you live in mesa that might be my rooster lol .. I'm in the same boat my rooster start crowing about a week now . Even though my neighbor is cool but I'm worried the city might show up .

Oh I see. I’ll bet the city won’t show up unless someone complains about it.

Minnie has become quite the ham (or nugget??) With the camera. Here is her VERY close up. Love her cheeksies and new comb! Gotta trim that beak at the next salon session.View attachment 2346965View attachment 2346966View attachment 2346967

So i figured out 2 from another thread.. they are self blue and red cochins

This one though, totally reminds me of Minnie (D'uccle) when she was tiny.. she was much smaller than the others, and had flight feathers showing... but of course this one has no foot feathers.. im now guessing quail D'Anver... https://tarboxhollowpoultry.com/product/quail-belgian-bearded-danver-bantams/

Oooooh.. got confirmation, quail D'Anver!! And the other one is a black breasted red old english bantam. Lets see how my girl picking works out! I am not sure on one, feeling like 3 others are girls.

And ive resigned to my house becoming a giant coop!!!

Tiny (the D'Anver, named by my daughter) has a case of pasty butt.. I'm cleaning it, but she still seems bothered. And my daughter says we SHOULD NOT get another one as insurance.. kids today.

Ok i got another one i want to keep 2 cochins, and one i think is a male (the pretty light blue, it has short flight feathers). This one i have a good feeling will be female.. anddd looks like there might be some frizzle feathers!! Anddd blue!!

I included a fashionable over the shoulder shot of the red cochin.. also think I see some frizzle starting
