AGE OF CHICKS ?

[cajunlizz]

Hubby went to the feedstore and came home 1st. time with Rhode Island Red chicks ... He was told they were about 2 weeks old .

HOW can you tell how old the chicks are ?rolleyes::

Show us a photo. When you have been around new chicks alot you learn to look at the fluff and new feather growth and over all look of the chick and can pretty much pin point an age.

I would agree your chicks are 2 - 3 weeks old due to the feathering on the wings.

OK , you said 2- 3 weeks old ? OK ... Do they start flying at this young age ? We hold our hand out and they jump on our hand ,

and jump back in the cage .
