Can you help me age my chicks

[Wi_Pida]

I have 2 questions...

I bought my Cinnamon Queens about 3 wks ago the said they were about a week old. They seem a bit older then 4 weeks ago. They are completely feathered except for a little around the sides of the neck. They fly really well already too. How old do you think they really are?

I also want to put them outside in a dog kennel wrapped in a blacket and tarp with a heat lamp. Day temp is in the 70s night time in the 50s. So my 10 wk olds can start getting use to them. Is it to soon to put them out there as long as I keep them separated from the rest of the flock?

I'd put them at 5-7 weeks.

Cinnamon queens are red sexlinks. Those are not red sexlinks.

Mine are six weeks, and I remember the down around their neck clearly from last week! So my vote is also 5 weeks.

 

[Hencraze24]

if were right about the age, those could be cockerels.

I'm thinking around 5'ish weeks, but those aren't cinnamon queens.

I can't tell but what I can tell you is I have three welsummers that will be five weeks on Saturday, golden sex links looks like about the same age as the welsummers. Australorps arrived at the store on May 6th and they told us they were flown in overnight at a day or two old. Golden Sex links are as big as my Welsummers and maybe a little bigger. The beginning of their comb is showing on the Australorps just recently and not fully feathered yet.

To take a guess I will say they look like they are close to the golden sex links age about 5 weeks at least.

I agree with other posters as to 5 weeks or so, if those are cinnamon queens, you got all the roosters, and they are showing signs that that is the case... Cinnamon Queens are a cross between a New Hampshire Rooster and Silver Laced Wyandotte hens and is done because of the sex-linked color difference between male and female.

What type do you think they are? When I got them I was told they were cinnamon Queens. They said it was a cross between a female Red Rhode Island and a white Rhode Island

I'd say about 5 week's old.
