How old are these chicks???

[dtimms]

Can anybody tell me how old these girls really are? It's a RIR (clearly younger), an Australorp, and a Barred Rock. The bigger ones are supposedly about 3 weeks. Thank you!!!

the rhode island looks like a week old and the others do look to be about 3 weeks from what I can tell

I have 2 Astorlop that look just about like yours...they are both 3 weeks today

 

[Mahonri]

RIR 1-2 weeks
BRs 3-4 weeks

Thanks so much! So the consensus is that the guy at the store was about right...

I have RIR's and that one looks like about at a week or two.

I'm so glad you started this thread. I just got my peeps today. I bought 6 silver laced wyandottes and 6 golden laced wyandottes. There is a noticable size difference and it's about the same difference as you have between your two breeds. So now I know about how old they are.

I hope she's closer to 2 weeks.... I didn't want her to be too far apart from the others. She's always trying to snuggle up with them (and underneath them), so she does act like the baby sister!
