Hello, everyone!
I am curious how old my chicks actually are. I got them a few days ago from a farm store. They are already developing wing feathers and teeny tiny combs and have started experimenting with their wings. I have 6, and one has already managed to escape my brooder (a storage bin). Thanks for helping out!

They're adorable!:love
My guess would be a week at the oldest, probably more like 5 days. The bottoms of their wing feathers have started developing, but no tail or shoulder feathers. Good luck with your new babies!
