BCM chicks (age progression)

ebreece · Apr 15, 2015

We have 4 sweet little BCM chicks that range from 1.5 weeks to 2.5 weeks. They were all mixed in together so we aren't certain how old each one is but we are assuming the biggest guy is older and the other 3 were the same size when we got them. They are still a little skittish with the camera so it's difficult to get pictures but we're trying to watch them and see if we can figure out if they are pullet or cockerels! Here's some pictures and again, I know the quality isn't great!

So far all four still have very little comb development. The 4th chick has always been the biggest baby. The 3rd chick has quickly caught up in the last few days though and her feathers have come in faster then 1 and 2. The 3rd is a bit pushy with her fellow babies and has to shove her beak into whatever interesting things they find. We noticed the 4th has very different tail feathers though. You can kind of see in the picture that they don't lie horizontally but instead sort of stack on top of each other vertically. We're excited to see how they grow!
