How old do you think?

Yes, this is the one they posted. I will grab some as soon as I get the baby to sleep!

Picked up 4 chickens being re homed. 3 are sold white and the one you can see has dark flecks in the white. Only thing I know is they were picked up about a month ago at tractor supply and suppose to be hens.

He is a silkie. I have 9 Easter Egger pullets 20 weeks. 1 silkie pullet and 1 other silkie cockerel 19 weeks. 3 resucued pullets I was told were 15 weeks last weekend so 16 weeks now, they are small even compared to my silkie pullet. I think they were underfed. Presumed by the group to be RSL...

He is young. He is 19 weeks. Unfortunately he has hurt other ladies...I want to give him the chance to mature. What age do you consider them through puberty?

Swelling is better but her whole side of her face is bruised. I think that she is holding her beak a bit more closed but is still holding it open. She did good with moistened chick food. She ended up in with my 2 week old chicks today for a bit and I thought she was eating their food. She was...

One of my rescued brown leghorns my husband found yesterday with the rooster on her, swollen face and still isn't closing her beak. This morning it is less swollen and her face looks bruised. I gave her water by syringe last night and this morning...and i text the neighbors if that rooster can...

That is a good idea to see where they are at night. Chicks can get out of the heat totally and they are totally fine with the heat for a long long time. The real issue is that with the coop closed at night it is still so warm even at 10pm then adding the heat lamp on the chicks I am worried...

That is what I was thinking. I was just looking at the 10 day forcast and there are going to be a couple days of lower temps just before they turn 3 weeks. They will need heat overnight then but when it returns to hot...and i anticipate hotter as July is coming... I will try it off.

They are 2 weeks. The issue is it is overnight in the coop at the back of our property. I cant keep an eye on them to see how they are acting.

We have 6 easter egger chicks in a giant tote in our coop. Daytime temperatures are 85-90, we have turned their light off during the day. At night the low in the coop last night was 66 degrees. I have been turning on the light at night but even now at 9:30pm it is 86 degrees in the coop. When do...

Cool! She is pretty

That is helpful. Thank you. She does have a touch of black on the tip of her tail. I see that the picture of New Hampshire Reds do but the RSL are light at the tip of the tail. Is that breed specific? Or variable with RSL since they are technically a mix? Or local hatchery that I got our chicks...

What would be the differences in RSL vs New Hampshire Red?

But i want to know NOW!!! Lol

The ear lobs are kind of 1/2 red but definitely not as white as the others. They likely came from Dunlap hatchery as they are local. They do not carry Welsummers. I saw the list for D&B which is a farm store here with a few locations and they got most of their chicks from them. I did see at...

Do you think they are 15 weeks and pullets?

They are shy. My husband went to pick them up and the lady was afraid to touch them.

Got these 3 today on my local buy nothing group. The lady said they are 15 weeks. They are TINY compared to my Easter eggers...they don't have beards, have yellow legs and single combs. I am new to chickens so I know very little about chickens! Also do all 3 look like pullets? The one "Easter...
