Pictures of my Splash covey. My male "Flash" now has 6 girls and he makes babies that look just like him.🐥♥️

I have a broody mama that's been sitting on a huge clutch of eggs for about a week and a half. She's very serious about it. I try and remove the ones from the outer edges but yesterday she flew at me and hit me in the forehead! 😆
I am full up with eggs so I've decided to let her have them and wished her luck! How many of you think she can do it? 🪺🐣

I just hatched 13 out of 24 eggs from my flock. One of the chicks was unable to finish his "zip" so I opened a tiny bit to get his head out and he did the rest. He is still struggling and now I see why he had problems. He is missing the top part of his beak. He only has the bottom part.
What are the chances of his survival? I hate to do a mercy cull when he's tried so hard to make it, but if it's a male he'll be culled anyways when he's older.

What color is this girl? She is out of a falb fee male and a white hen. She looks like a ginger fee or maybe a pearl? No black just tan/cream markings. She is super sweet and very pretty.

One of my young 7wk old roos somehow broke both of his wings. One is a compound fracture with the bone sticking out. The other wing is broke in the same place. I have no idea how he managed this he has 4 females with him and they are fine. He is eating and drinking and moving around. Any ideas on how else to help him?

I just had to cull two of my prettiest boys because of bad behavior. They chose to scalp two of the younger hens in their cage.
One is pretty bad, don't know if she will make it. The other one is still eating and drinking so should be fine. I hate that they do this.
Luckily I got some eggs to do another hatch.
