I have a chick that was struggling hatching out as it was hatching out the wrong end of the egg. It had been over 18 hours since its beak had been sticking out and all other eggs including ones that where hatching out the wrong end where hatching do I decide to help by peeling back shell and...

It may be a ginger/golden colour

I also have another hen that isn’t a bantam but I don’t know what breed she is or what age (probably between 11-15 weeks) and I’m wondering when she will lay and what breed she is?

Hopefully she lays soon then, since it’s not getting cold

I’m in Australia so it’s summer here

I got a silkie cross just over a week ago and I was told she may be close to lay but she hasn’t layed yet and I’ve tried figuring out how old she is by her comb, wattle and redness but she has dark skin and no comb. I’m really confused and just wanna find out how old she is and when she will...

I have a 12 week old hen that squats when I pet her, it’s only started in the last week, I know she isn’t scared of my coz she has always loved cuddles and she isn’t laying yet coz she is only 12 weeks old. Why is she squatting? P.S. this is my hen ‘Sammy’ that is squatting.

No I have no idea, there where so many breeds there I’d have no idea of the parents

I had 10 and I hatched them from eggs I got from a friend backyard so they are all mixed, I sold most of them I only have the 3 that are in the pics now, that is why I’m asking what they are, I also have 2 eight week olds, are they hens? It’s an welsummer and an Austra white (leghorn x australorp)
