Age?

[GoldieOrpington]

Our 4 girls (hopefully girls) are supposed to be under 1 week old, but one Easter Egger is significantly bigger and more feathered than the others (Buff Orpingtons and Easter Eggers). She also “flies” much more frequently than the others and has managed to get on top her waterer and then get out of the tote. I’m completely inexperienced with chickens, so I’m wondering if she might be older than the others?



For comparison, this is our other Easter Egger:

Did you get them from a store? If so it's definitely possible one has a few days on the other.

Yes, but all from the same shipment the day they came in. Thanks for your reply!

Maybe the shipments came in on the same day, but maybe the hatch date was different? Anyway, they are so cute!

Thank you! And they’re so sweet. I didn’t expect Easter Eggers to want to be in my lap all the time.
