How old are my peachicks ??

[peacockvilla60]

Hi ,I bought 4 peachicks that were supposed to be 2 males /2 females but ended up being 3 males 1 female and that's ok with me ,but now I' m not sure if the guy that sold them to me told me the true age of them since he lie to me about knowing the sex of them ,he said they were 3 months old but this lady that owns peacocks said he had lie to me cause I bought them in May 17/2013 so she said they were around 1 1/2 months old ..please help cause if the guy was right my peachicks would be 5 mo. But they barely have any color yet even thou they' re very big

Tell me how much they weigh and I can make a guess as to how old they are.

All of my 8 weeks old chicks weigh about 1 pound, nothing bigger or older, so I'll have to look at my notes to find out how old the 2012 chicks were at 2 pounds.

Can you post pictures?
If so, someone will be able to give you a pretty close estimate.

Yes, that's on my list of thing to do, lol.

Major error on my part! The one I weighed actually weighs two pounds and his sister weighs 5 ounces less. Guess I got confused when I converted grams to ounces, shame on me. In grams they are 900 and 850, that I know is correct, lol.

Oh, sorry casportpony, maybe I wasn't clear - I was suggesting that peacockvilla60 post pictures.
We can probably get a pretty close guess if we get a look at them, don't you think?
And also we might be able to confirm whether it's really 3 boys and 1 girl...
