This is Little. She is about 4 years old. She was bought as a single chick from TSC or someplace similar, and then given to me not long after she had started laying. She lays a small off white egg. She should be a purebred of some sort of bantam. I researched a little when I first got her, but never came to any conclusion. She is my little broody beast. She lays about 6 eggs then goes broody. I finally set eggs under her this year. She has her 2nd group of chicks now. Any breed ideas? She's the tiniest little thing, no longer than my hand.

@BantamFan4Life and @drumstick diva think she is a Rosecomb bantam.

I'll go ahead with #5 and #6. Feel free to add guesses to any of the birds above as well, just mention the name or number.

#5 is one we've already done, a Black Australorp. She's probably a cross though as she has golden color eyes. Her name is Trouble, and she's about 4 years old. She had what appeared to be a stroke a couple months ago, so that she had zero balance, couldn't even drink water without falling face first. She's improved greatly, but still looks drunk, and the other chickens are mean to her so she lives separately. She's going through a crazy molt right now, that's why she looks frizzled. She always stands hunched up like in the picture now.

So, #6. Her name is Cotton and she's about 2 years old. She frequently lays white eggs. She's in with Trouble right now, as she went to jump on Trouble, and hurt her own leg instead

So now they must be friends, haha. So, what breed do you think?

I was thinking possibly Rosecomb too, but I don't know much about the breed.

Trouble is so cute, even with her molt! I'd say Australorp or Jersey Giant mix.

For Cotton, maybe a White Leghorn?

Yep, Trouble is likely an Australorp or a cross of one. Cotton is a White Leghorn, she is an excellent layer.

#7 Worse is about 2 years old. She's pretty flighty, likes to fly out of the 5' fence and lays a light brown egg. What breed?

She looks like an Easter Egger and I also love her "purple" tail feathers!
