How old are my chickens?

[nd0084267]

Hello, i need help with something. I bought our chickens at a local feed store, so i do not know their ages, and i was hoping somebody might help.
Here are the pictures:

Also, what breed are they? The feed store sold them as Ameracaunas, but i think they may be EEs.

Look like EEs to me, and from the looks of it, fairly young. Possibly 7 months old?

Whatever they are, they're SO PRETTY!

I would say 6 months. Are they laying?

I've heard around 18 to 26 weeks.

They look under a year to me also. Give them a couple weeks, they will start laying soon!!! Congrats, Very pretty!!

Thank you!

I've just switched them onto "layer" feed.
I've also just gotten two new buff orpingtons that are in the brooder right now.

I would guess about 6 ish months. Good looking birds. Look like my EE.

I agree. They might be kinda young, like 6 or 7 months.

We got our hens at about the same age a few months ago. They just starting laying. They don't seem to lay until their combs and wattles develop and get bright bright red

Enjoy your pretty birds and
