    What gender, I hope female?

    They both look like females. Silkies take from 6 months to a year to start laying. Mine usually take 6-8 months to start.

    You can't fix a cross beak from what I know. You can help though if shes having trouble eating from it then you can give her chick food mixed with water to soften it up but if shes eating fine then I wouldn't worry about it. There's several things you can do for a lonely chick. I suggest putting...
