How old are these?

[RoxReck]

We just got our second flock. 6 Amuricanas. They have all their wing feathers and some are growing little tail feathers. We got them from Rural King. And they didn't tell us how old they were. Any ideas?

Look about a week and a half maybe 2 to me! Are they Americana’s or Easter eggers?

More likely EE, about a week or at the most 2wks ^^^^

Tip: always turn off red light for photos. I'm guessing 1-2 weeks from what I can see.

Ameracannas. I have no idea how to spell it. Lol. And thank you!

I got them at Rural King, they were advertised as Amerucannas, <- I never know how to spell that! Lol! But 1 doesn't have the cheeks. So, I'm guessing, or hoping that its an Easter egger. The reason I added to my flock was because I wanted blue eggs !

EE's are mixed breed chickens that can lay colored eggs, Americauna is the fancy term. Ameracaunas, with an A, are a real breed.

Ameraucanas will lay blue ... EE/Easter Eggers it's a wait and see; I've never gotten blue from and but do get a "green" or brown. They're a good addition to a flock, real clowns.

Thank you! I was wondering, because before I got them, I knew breeds I wanted and researched them. The site i got info from, warned me on the spelling, so I made sure to check. But I don't think Rural King isn't a good place to get them from. A lot of the chicks had pasty butt and the lady that put them into my box, was picking at the butt quite hard. We had one die. I told her, you need to be gentle around their vents. Anyway. They had silkies with bantam but were only labeled as Bantam. So I'm sure that was probably the case with the Ameracaunas.

Fuzzy heads and well defined feathering in the wings... my guess is 2 weeks and pushing 3. At about 3 pushing 4 weeks old, they should start looking a little tattered (another juvenile molt) and then they should start shaping up into 'little chickens'
