Any Idea How Old My Babies Are??

[SilkieMama17]

I bought these Silkie chicks on Saturday, April 9th at TSC, and they didn't tell me how old they were. They have shot up a ton and are feathering out so fast, especially the past few days and they just seem really big all of a sudden LOL. Can anyone tell based on the pics about how old they might be?? (all 4 pics are of my lil sweet heart, Twinkie)

Im guessing barely a week old?!?!

Well I'm guessing they are over a week, since I've had them for more than a week now. I think they were probably a few days old when I picked them up, bc they were the last in their bin, and almost the last ones left in the store so I think the shipment had been in for a few days by the time I got there. Someone else I talked to said they might be pushing 2 weeks by now. It's so hard to tell LOL They grow so darn fast! My one (Tweek) is almost flying out of their brooder already!

Actually, the silkies tend to sell out FAST so you probably got them the day they were put in the bin (only a couple of days old at the time).

Congrats, they're adorable!

Between 1-2 weeks old. I miss my silkies, but my big babies are loved, too.
