1. It is laying eggs, since 2-3 weeks ago. Is she going to grow a lot bigger than her size today?

2. The image is better if it is not moving. So, I decided to take a picture, when it is about to poop.


3. That pullet is about the same size as the pullet on the first picture, when my mom bought it. However, it is significantly smaller than the pullet on the first picture since 3 months ago.

I think both of them are mix breed, since both have some feathers on each legs and it is not a lot like what favorelles and cochin pure breed have. What do you think is the breed of the parents(assume they are pure breed)? If you can see it, the chick's left wing is damage. My mean chicken likes to eat chick's feathers, so she tried to pluck it when it is near the edge of the cage about 2 days ago. It bleed a lot and some muscle tissue is exposed. The chick can still flap both of it's wings and it can eat and drink without any help. Do you think the feathers will still grow on the affected area?

6. She is definitely an adult hen. Someone gave it away and I don't know the breed.

They are about 3 weeks old.

Only Dorking, Faverolle, Houden, Sultan, and Non-bearded Silkie Bantams have five toes - Your bird does not look like any of those breeds.

Is it a mix breed chicken?

My bad, it is actually a spur, not a toe. =P

No, that is not a spur, it's a 5th toe. The birds are a mix.

You are probably right, since it look more like a toe than a spur. I will check it by tomorrow, to see if there is actually a toe nail or it look more like a spur, on the supposedly fifth toe.
 
It is indeed a toe, not a spur. So it is probably a mix breed. I wish the pet store will not sell anymore mix breed chickens. Do you know why they sell mix breed chickens instead of pure breed chickens?
 
Can someone name the kind of breed of the chickens on photo number 2,6,7, and 8. I think they are pure breed chicken. Some thinks that photo number 7 and 8 are both wheaten old english game bantam. I want confirmation for that, and I also wanted to know their gender. I think both of their comb started to turn pink when they were about 3 weeks old, but some thinks that one that have at least 50% white feathers is a female.

I also wanted to know the possible breed of the parent(no feathers on legs and feet) of chicks on photo number 4 and 5. Either the mother or father definitely have feathers on it's feet and legs.
