Three surprise chickens

[efaust]

Hi, everyone. I received a call the day before yesterday with the offer of a free coop and three chickens. I had been thinking about getting chickens, but thought it would be sometime in the next few years. My head is spinning a little bit, but I am excited to have three pretty little Golden Comets pecking around my suburban yard. One has a name, but the other two look so similar I can't tell them apart. Any tips offered would be appreciated.

Hi , I would look at the shanks (legs) and check out the spurs. They are little bumps on the shank and sometimes they can look a little different from bird to bird. Also, count the points ( bumps) on top of the comb. Sometimes they can have a different number of points from bird to bird. You will know them as your own children before its over.
