How old are my chickens?

[Slvdh2000]

hello! I got my baby chicks a few days ago and was wondering how old they were. I want to know how old they are so I can tell when to put them in their coop. Thank you!!! ( if you can't tell by the image than let me know. I will gladly take more!

I'm guessing that they are less than a week old.

Wing feathers start first at about 2_3 days old

Yep from the pic I would guess less than 4 days old, they usually get to the feedstore at 1-2 days old.

They are less than 1 week old - however, rather than focusing on the age of the birds to determine moving them out I would encourage you to consider their physical development. Because they can feather out at variable rates it's better to look at whether they are fully feathered or not in deciding that they are ready to move up and out and maintain their own body temperature.

Thankyou so much! I'll take that into consideration!
