Does anyone seriously know where this place was? I mean really, all I see here and on the Internet are a lot of vague references to "outside of La Grange". One story here http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=stationinfo&id=3300910 says "They then drove down county gravel road 130 and around the bend just outside La Grange in Fayette county to the notorious Chicken Ranch" -- CR 130 in Fayette County is way north, near Ledbetter (E of Giddings), about 20 miles north of LaGrange. Some other stories say that Texas A&M students and soldiers [presumably from Fort Hood] would line up there -- this supports the idea of it being near Ledbetter rather than LaGrange. Can we get this LaGrange myth cleared up, or validated? - Rolypolyman 22:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
The date of Marvin Zindler's death is irrelevant to the article. --unsigned
I don't know how to edit the reference list, but the link to number 2 (the best little secret) needs to be changed to: http://209.189.226.235/aandmnews/anniversary/2chickenranch.htm The current link is no longer valid. - Karinagw ( talk) 19:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
The Chicken Ranch was near La Grange, NOT Ledbetter. There is a reason the rock group ZZ TOp's song was called La Grange. My family lived near La Grange while the Ranch was open in the early 70's. Call the La Grange Chamber of Commerce and someone will be glad to tell you exactly where this brothel was. Practially everything the La Grange Chamber has on their walls is related to the Chicken Ranch legacy. The ranch of course, is gone. after its closing it was moved to Dallas to become a restaurant, then it burned down. And Marvin Zindler passed away in 2007, for those interested.-Thanks, Virginia, Fort Worth, Texas —Preceding

In the ==Edna Milton== section it mentions that "One base supplied a helicopter for soldiers to use for transportation to the ranch". I realize this is quoted/cited from the "Handbook of Texas", but is there anything else that can back this up? I just seems a bit unreasonable that the government would use helicopters to transport soldiers to the "Chicken Ranch". Not that it couldnt happen, but I just can't picture this happening. Any comment? Bgautrea ( talk) 05:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
The article contains the statement, "Williams sold her house and purchased eleven acres just outside the city limits of La Grange, and only two blocks from the Houston-Galveston highway." Color emphasis added. A quick look at a Texas map shows this to be a most dubious statement, probably based in geographical ignorance. This would also not be a logical erotic detour when traveling either direction between Houston and Galveston. Galveston had its own well-known and well-defined red light district, at least into the mid 1950's, the last time I was there. Old tar ( talk) 00:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
In Section "Closure" a character James is mentioned as calling Zindler. However James was never introduced. What is missing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.188.35.132 ( talk) 12:02, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
May I quote from the article: "...her house was respectable by admitting politicians" is that a real statement or some kind of wicked joke? - 93.197.101.33 ( talk) 08:18, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Should the existence of the of the Chicken Ranch (Nevada) be included as part of the legacy section? It doesn't appear the be a direct continuation of the business, but it is clearly using the history of the Chicken Ranch in its marketing, if nothing else. https://chickenranchbrothel.com/chicken-ranch-history/ -- BookJuggler ( talk) 22:17, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
