Welcome. What are you going to do with the ones you don't keep?

Welcome to BYC. I have, and have had, a lot of different breeds and mixes. None of mine have been quite layers. When one sings they all sing.
Is it legal to keep them in your neighborhood?

Wow! Thanks for the responses and warm welcome you guys. #dobieliver, I recognized some of the names you mentioned. The Easter egger is a Cockerel you say? It has not attempted crowing...at least not yet. I have one of the bantams, approximately the same age as the Easter egger, who started crowing a few weeks ago. None of the other birds have shown this behavior. When will I know for sure?

And #TwoCrows, thanks for the info. I will check it out.

Have a fabulous rest of your day.

Thanks again.

I can keep a few, 3 or 4 chickens only. No roosters.

Hello everyone,
I'm a new chicken enthusiast. I don't have much room for chickens as I live in a track home. Yet, I bought 10 chicks from Kahoots here in SoCal and now they're about 3 months old. We're going to keep 3 to 5 of them. I'm just not sure which ones. If anyone can please help me identify the breeds of these I'd really appreciate it.

I'll post some pictures, if ya'll don't mind taking a look and please let me know if you think you know the breed. I'll do some research and decide which to keep based on, well...how noisy they are frankly. Again I live in track housing and i don't want my neighbors bothered to much by their noises. Although I know they can get pretty noisy when they're getting ready to lay.
Thanks in advance.


The black and white spotted one is or may be a barred rock i think? But the 2 white spotted ones with fluffy cheeks/beards are huge and have these big, yellow feet. I think these are some kind of easter eggers? The brown/reddish one I have no idea. The black and grey/lavender ones I have no idea either.

I have 4 bantams ( no pics), one of which is a rooster and those will need to go for sure. They're supper cute, with feathers on their feet and fluffy, curly feathers. But I just can't keep so many.

Anyway, i need all the help i can get. Thanks again.
