How old are chicks when they get their wing and tail feathers in? The lady that helped me at our local farm store didn't know how old the chicks were when they got them from the hatchery. So I assumed they were probably a day or two old. Any ideas?
My chicks are one week old, to my knowledge, and getting tail feathers. I have 25. They have been kept in our chicken coop in a baby pool with a draft shield around it with heating lamps. I've had a few escape the pool and shield. I was wondering at what age should I remove them from the pool...
Just wondering if I understand what rainbow layers are. I went to my local farm store where they had a tank of chicks marked as rainbow layers. Are they considered Easter eggers or does the hatchery put 3 or 4 breeds all together to give an assortment of egg colors?
