Guess the Age! Meet my chicks!!

[newchck]

Meet my five babies! 3 Rhode Island Reds and 2 Ameraucanas, all pullets (or should be) I got them from a local store on Sunday, please help me guess their age so I can take care of them the best I can! (treats, temp, etc.) Each picture is a different chicken. Thank you so much!!!!

So then they’re not actually Ameraucanas, they’re Easter Eggers! Very cute!

Thanks! The feed store got the chicks from Mt Healthy, which lists them as Ameraucanas, but think they are probably Easter Eggers?

Definitely! Most hatcheries mislabel or misspell them. I believe the only hatcheries that actually carry true Ameraucanas are Meyers and Cackle!

No big deal to me, love them just as much
