Nearly 3 weeks old chick sleep a lot

Very bad luck, I cant even believe people can be that awful.

I'll say "Welcom to Australia with extremely variety of immigration" it would be good mix but if some from Europe around Serbia area can be either super great neighbour or horrible neighbour. My mum's friend got the horrible one. I met super nice and great group of people one though too bad they're not my neighbour (I wish they are). My old neighbour just love to make enemies especially made with my mum before he passed away from cancer.

Definitely look super cool especially face area. I do agree with you. Salmon super cute colour. I love those layer colours. Oh does your country have breed call Death Layer? It's looks so good and lay eggs until its lifespan. In Australia doesn't have much unique breeds but still cute chickens. Here have just common breeds that's all.

I can see if they sell it at the hatchery we buy them from, (Meyer Hatchery) I heard about them I think. I've never seen them on there but I'll look! We ship ours to us from Rhode Island (1 day delivery) we'd rather just get them but we love to pick breeds as you can see lol. (They all arrive healthy and happy) Understandable! You should see if they have Speakled suxxes there! One of my favorite breeds but I think there pretty commen!

Ahh, they don't have death layers! Which is surprising they have a lot of breeds. I think some hatchrys will ship to Australia I understand some people don't like to do that though.

Oh wow, it's nice to get fast delivery. If I know more about the breed I'll be like you too pick breed myself. I am learning about breed now. So if have more I'll definitely pick particular breed myself. The breed you mentioned I've google just now. I've definitely seen that breed. Looks so cute my mum like frizzled looking type. She said look like a lion. Right now my house have (after google a LOT) 2 Australorp and 1 mix Australorp and something else she has mainly white with a bit of black feathers, has rose comb black legs from Australorp one eye yellow one eye half yellow. This one act like mistress of the house. Such a personality. Maybe because I have only 3 so they all crow like rooster. Mum got them from flee market at the church where my stepdad went.

I know! I always get so excited waiting for them to arrive!
When we first got chickens we did a lot of research on everything but now we like to enjoy friendly goofy beautiful and weird-looking breeds. But I also love sassy chickens too. But it was great to do that research we got some amazing breeds that we love and those are our favorite breeds! (Speakled suxxes and Salmon Favorolles are mine ofc they both were from our first batch) My favorite chicken was a Speakled suxxes named Loutus, she was a pure leader and so sassy but she was also so sweet to us. Unforchantly she died from a dog, It was truly heart breaking I really loved her. My favorite after her was a Salmon Favorolle named Princess Leia she was SO sweet!!! (She died from the same reason. We told the owner and fenced off their yard so It wouldn't happen again.) Anyway I LOVE those breeds so much I had another speckled suxxes who was a different lovable personality she was a little shy but super sweet. I truly miss my girls and cant wait to get more in 2025! Last batch we didn't get any speckled suxxes, but we got lots of Favorolles, anyway sorry I'm so obsessed with these breeds I'm rabbling on about them lol.

If you send me pics of the chicken I can try to find out what it is.

Sorry for your loss. I love how you name them very pretty name. Me and my mum tried to name them in Thai to have nice easy name but my mum later lost track and wasn't able figure out who and who better 2 Australorps when they fully grown. At first one of them have some yellow colour in certain parts but once fully grow they're completely black. Later on we figure out who and who by their personalities. So my mum start calling each from their personalities. One of them mum call Fatty in Chinese (I'm half Chinese) and another smaller but bigger than white so she call middle in Thai and white one just call white in Thai now they're remember that those are their name. The baby chick that passed away my friend in Thailand help name her Vivi from Vivian in Thai language Vivian have some similar sound to one word in Thai language which mean dizzy so still better than those 3 names. New one that's coming out I plan to name them NewYear&Eve. Since they'll be hatch after Christmas towards NewYear Eve.

Here's the pictures of 3 hens. The black with smaller comb is middle and bigger comb is Fatty. Right now both middle and white become broody so they're skinnier than this picture except Fatty which perfect to her name. Really doesn't care anything besides foods.

Aw thank you, They are so beautiful! (Name Idea for the other, Fox glove? if you haven't named her lol, the other black astroplorp) Thanks! I like to name them like pet names or human names or just pretty names! Our flock right now is :Elves, Millie, Violet, our Blue Cochins. Pumpkin, Muffin, Cinnamon, Agnis, and Chickpea Our Favorolles. Polish Ambassador shes a White Creasted blue polish and Layla she's a Silkie bantom and Nermal I think she's a Blue astrolorp, we got her from a relative who couldn't keep her anymore so we're not for sure.

That white one, wow, really pretty hen. She might be a Rhode Island white? But the feet are grey... Its hard because there are so many white chicken breeds that look like her except they have yellow feet, its odd not many white breeds have feet that are grey. Oh, wait! I think she's an Austra white

I can't think of anything else she could possibly be most white breeds have yellow feet! By the way, they don't all have these grey speckles on them like that one ^^ but she does have those faint speckles. She might not be this because she does look at bit different from them but that's as close as I can think of!

Here's another photo of one with speckles this one has ones more like her. They could also be a completely random combination of someone's chicken breeds.

That's cute name. At that time we really named them like proper pet name or human name with really good meanings but unfortunately mum like to call them through their personalities and looks now they're just know that as their name this time I'll make sure 2 new one remember their name properly. Not just call like those 3 hens.

As for White, at first I thought she's white leghorn mix Australorp but from your pictures definitely more like her except comb. I learn now that comb come in different shapes even though same breed. So hard to figure when mix breed together.

Oh yeah, oh my godess I didn't even see that! I learned about combs but I cant remember them now. My dad didn't want us to name them at all at first, but we didn't listen to him and got attached to all of them. (And named them all)

What color eggs does she lay? If she's laying. That goes for the black ones too. Most breeds lay certain colored eggs, well besides Easter egger but they lay one color there whole life it could just be any. My Salmon Favarolles lay pink-ish eggs. I dont know what eggs they lay but I can look it up. Most lay the brown or pink eggs though.
