They all look cross bred in my opinion.

Is she real old?

No. In the pictures there is some chooks that are a bit older. Though if it doesn't work out maybe putting your chick down would be the nicest way, because they are supposed to run around, and when its older it could get beat up.

Sadly she may just be passing away with nature. This has happened to me on various ocassions, and even though it was extremely sad, I took them to the vet, and they found nothing wrong with them. And just told me that she died maybe from stress, or heat. And that maybe it was just a freak thing.

HERE is a great link to a site about it.

I haven't personally but a really good friend has. I was going to get one but couldn't afford it at the time. But they LOVE theirs. I was so convinced of getting one until I went to the petshop, and they charged extra (what for I don't know) and I honestly couldn't afford it at the time.

Welcome :) I too recently have bred chickens from an incubator. If it is an automatic one (that turns them automatically, you just have to make sure that your water levels are ok. But if you have one that you have to turn (which is what I had) I tried to turn them 3 times a day, and I would...

Dont feel dumb! We all had to start somewhere. I personally wouldn't let them out with the other chicks until they are at least a couple months old. I put mine in a small outdoor cage when they are around a month, and then put them all together when they are older (a minimum of two months)

This one here doesnt look too bad off of google. Just one thing to watch out for is they don't breath as easy as cardboard, or wood. So be sure to have plenty of insulation, especially because there is a few chickens. I have something similar to this which is around 1 metre by maybe 60cm...

It is a borrowed incubator and the brand is covatutto 24..

Yep, I sew and knit.. I want to get into baking more (but I really don't like eating sweet or savoury foods, but loooove cooking them) I am a tad bit strange.. haha..
