can anyone tell me about how old my babys are when i got them April 14 I thought they were under a week for 3 of them they had some wing feathers and tiny spouts of tail feathers (except little bit she had not on feather on her she was 100% fuzz) but today when i was at feed store they had some baby chicks (took all will power not to walk about with a few more chicks esp when you have a 6 year old begging and already naming them) and the lady said they were over 2 weeks old these chicks but they looked jusst like my 3 girls the day i brought them home.

I got mine the same day - they were about 3 days old (assuming they told me correctly). My avatar was taken on April 14th They look very much like yours today - about 4 weeks today.

Taken a few days ago.

i would guess anywhere from 5 weeks to 7 weeks based on their feather development...

LOOKING AT THAT FIRST PIC WHEN I FIRST GOT THEM AND THERE NURSERY CAGE WAS SO BIG AND NOW WHEN THEY GET IN THERE IS HARDLY ANY ROOM FOR THEM I HAVE TO TAKE EVERYTHING OUT SO THEY COULD MOVE EVEN THERE LITTLE PURCHING STICK THEY DONT FIT ON ANY MORE MY HAVE THEY GROWN SO DARN FAST.
