Welcome here so glad we've been able to help you this far Eggs are right around the corner. Great mix.We live in sunny and hot Southern California with horses, Dobermans and now chickens! We bought ours at the local feed store and they’re different ages. We were told we had 80% chance of getting pullets, so knowing my luck, we bought extras. Chicken Math is REAL lol.
We’ve been reading all the great information on this site, which has been a huge part of our success in getting all these day old chicks to survive to today. Thank you all for your willingness to share your wealth of knowledge to improve chicken lives one (or 20 lol) chickens at a time.
Here’s our list of breeds and their ages as of today.
Black Australorp - 15 Weeks
Buff Brahma - 15 Weeks - are we allowed to have favorites? No? Then I’ll keep it to myself which are my favorites
Wyandottes (from the assorted bin) - 14 Weeks
Olive Eggers - 13 Weeks
Mottled Java - 13 weeks
White Silkie - 14 Weeks - Pretty sure this is a rooster
Welsumer - 13 Weeks
Black Sex-Link - 13 Weeks (weird they looked the same as day old chicks, but now 2 are black with very little brown, one has a lot of brown)
