9-10 Week old chicks

[BirdGirl2004]

Hey guys, I'm going to be posting pictures of my 9-10 week old chicks to ensure that they are growing properly. In the past, my chickens haven't grown near and bug or fast because I used the wrong feed. I've been giving them chick starter/grower and will continue to until they are 18 or so weeks, BUT in the beginning when there were tiny chicks I had to feed them other feed because I didn't have access to buy them the right feed. It was either meat chicken starter or it was layer ration. Just wanted to post pics and make sure they were the right size! Thanks

They look great to me. Mine we around the same size at that age.

They look great , but I sure don’t like your chicken wire you used. Not sure what’s around there but dogs and raccoons can tear through that stuff, it rusts and falls apart

Yes, there is not much around here right at the moment, but I have this inside a electric fence... So I think they'll be just fine. I have them in this because they are getting used to being in with the "big girls." They will be transferred permanently in a month or so.
