Hi there! I'm Micah and I am new to this community, as well as the crazy wonderful world of owning chickens. My parents and I bought 4 pullet chicks on March 22nd from our local Bomgaars store. We bought 2 amberlinks (the 'twins') and 2 dominiques (one of whom we call Gita) but sadly the dominique was sick and passed away a few days after getting her, so we then bought a slightly younger production red chick (who we call Ginger) around the 26th-28th so it's an even flock. Even though she was younger her diva-like attitude made her fit right in with the other girls!!
When we bought the chickens, the store attendant said they were about a week old, supposedly, and said the same of ginger when we got her a week later.
My mom and I have been going back and forth this past week debating, because I think the amberlinks and dominique are maybe a week younger than what we thought they were because of their feathers, while my mom thinks that the store attendant was right and that they are about 4 weeks old, approaching 5 weeks.
I'm having trouble finding good images of 3-4 week old amberlinks/dominiques/productions for some reason so I thought I'd give my chicks some fresh sets of eyes to help us figure this out.
These images are all recent as of last evening (4/08). PLEASE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!
