I have never had any chicks and no I don't have any ducks...unfortunately all my hands are for medium to fullsize hens and our roosters are Bantam roosters. They try, but I don't think they are successful however I haven't tried to incubate or anything nor have I seen any of them get broody...
 
Hello & welcome.

I just joined byc yesterday & this site is full of very nice & helpful people. I am loving BYC already & know you will too. The grey & white laced chickens you have look like barred rocks, the yellow one might also be a buff Orpington or Wyandotte like some one already said. You have some beautiful chickens for sure. You do get attached to them... Lol. Most of ours follow us around right along with the dogs, they are funny & goofy, i just love raising them. Every hatch brings something new. As for the one with the crippled feet, that can be caused my inbreeding them to much or just a deformity that happens in the shell. They usually do just fine as long as they can get to their food & water. I call them my special needs chickens & they are kept for pets & eggs. It is not good to use them for breeding tho.

Keep up the good work & if we can be of any help, please let us know, we will do what we can to help. Nice meeting you & again, WELCOME.

This is the one with the weird feet. Always been like this. She gets around juat fine. Doesnt seem to be in any pain, juat dont know why? I cant just get rid of her because she looks funny. The lady I inherited her from wanted to get rid of her because of them. I think she is just unique and she still laus delicious eggs!

This bird appears to be a Red Sex-Link, also known as a Golden Comet, Red Star, or Cinnamon Queen.

Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! You can post pictures of your girls in the What Breed Or Gender Is This forum for help with iding them, https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this From those pics it looks like you have three cochins (the ones with fuzzy feet), a Splash rooster (black/white/gray spotty one) and Red or Partridge (can't tell if the feathers are patterned from the picture) rooster and hen, ... two Barred Plymouth Rocks (the black and white striped ones), and the gold one is probably a Buff Orpington if she has pink/white feet.
