Ages Of New Chickens?

[CluckerFamily]

I have hens that are 8 years old, they still lay just not every day.

Ah ok

Haha thanks!

Did you breed it yourself?

No actually. I don’t have any chickens that I need right now. I have some in the incubator 10 days away from hatch day

A lot of roosters.

The top two hens, look younger to me, looking at their beaks. I would guess less than a year. The rooster in between them, looks older than them, but not real old.

I think the blacker birds are older maybe going on 2+ years. The last rooster seems to be younger, but over a year in age.

BUT IT IS HARD to tell, harder through pictures.

So none are really any older then 3 and a half years old?

There is really no way to tell for sure how many years old a bird is.
Not like mammals where their teeth can show string indications of age.

Yeah, there is no way to tell for certain. We can give you our best guesses, but we can't say how old they are exactly.

I am just guessing, especially with pictures. As stated, no way to say for positive.
