Chicken age

[Silikiemamma23]

Hello I bought my chicken at the beginning of may from farm store. But I can’t figure out how old they are. As I am a first time chicken owner. I’m just trying to keep an eye on their age and behaviors. So I can make sure i have everything ready for when they start laying eggs. Is there anyway someone can help me figure out the age of my chickens?

Hmmm. Maybe 3 months?

We're they feathered when you got them or downy chicks?

Update on the chickens I still can’t figure out how old they are. That way I can get the golf ball or plastic eggs in the nesting boxes

Just put in the fake eggs now, absolutely no harm in showing them early that the nest boxes are good places to lay.

Agreed! They look a month old in that photo inside the plastic tote.
Other pictures they look a bit older. OP, it's important to note when your pictures were taken for something like age and make a note which chick is which, as it could have been a mixed age bunch. What a shame the store didn't tell you something so basic.
