Black australorps 9 weeks old....

I agree, they are much smaller than the one's I have that I KNOW are 9 wks. I don't know why this guy would lie to me. Either way, I'm glad I have them, I just need them to grow a little more so they don't get hurt by the others. They have been in a pen inside the run all week so they should be getting used to each other by now.

sometimes it takes weeks before they will be accepted by the established flock. Are the smaller BA's hatchery stock?

He said they weren't hatchery but I'm thinking he lied. These will be the first hatchery birds in my flock.... Oh well, I have a strong roo, hopefully I can be the hatchery traits out after a few gets..
