Approximate age?

[CKfarm22]

I got new chicks today and i was wondering if anyone could give me approximate age. I’m thinking 2-3 weeks old

I'd say a little older, around 4 weeks. Or 3 if they are a quick growing breed.

I guess i should’ve added what breed they are, that’s my fault. Salmon favorelle, speckled sussex and gold laced wyandotte

The speckled sussex definitely looks how mine did at 4 weeks, not so sure about the others.
But I'd say they're all around that.

I definitely think the salmon favorelle is maybe a week older than all the others because of her tail feathers

3-4 on the Faverolles. The black one next to it is probably about 2 weeks.

It look to me like the SS is 5 weeks, SF 4-5 weeks and the GLW around 2-3 weeks

Should i still keep them under the heat lamp or should i move them into their coop brooder without

That would depend on your room temperature. If it's warm enough then I would say no heat should be fine.l but if the temps drop at night perhaps switching on for the little one would be a safe bet.

Just make sure there is space in the brooder without heat so they can move away if hot.

Our chicks were still on heat at night at 4 weeks because it was significantly cooler overnight.

They are off the heat completely now though and they will be going outside during the daytime from tomorrow.

How high/low are the temps in the coop? The younger one(s) may still need some heat, depending on your answer.
