Help me age my flock!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

I acquired 3 pullets(Buckeye, Barred Holland, & Black Austrlorp). I have no clue how old they are. Can Anyone help? Here is a pic of the first 2, I'll add one of the australorp soon as I get a good pic. If better pics would be helpful let me know. Thanks for the help.

they look at least 6 months to me

Nope, not six months, both are much younger.  Closer to 14 weeks on the barred pullet and 16-18 weeks on the Buckeye, (possible production red bird?). Is that a rose comb on the Buckeye?

I would guess close to 5 months. Faces are read but combs are small yet. Should be laying soon in my opinion.
