How old do my chick look to you all?

[livingbyfaithhomestead]

I was sold my Australorp chicks on March 10, with the sellers stating the chicks had been hatched on March 7. They are supposed to be 5 weeks old today, but they seem to look much larger than other pics I am seeing of 5-week old. Again, they are Australorps, and I am wondering if any of you think they seem to be older than I was originally told. Thanks

I have some 14 week old Australorps, they are bigger than the other chicks their age. And kinda bully, but they are boys.

Adorable! I have austras and they are my favs, they run up to me and jump on my lap, and one that just adores having her neck rubbed, she will lay out her head on my arms when I let her. Yep, look about right!

Australorps have lovely black eyes. One of mine is named "Lance" after Lance Ito, because he looks like a judge. This is him at about 5 weeks old, I think so...

They look 5 weeks old. Time to turn the heat off!

It's actually easier to tell age when they're 3 days. 3 day old chicks have little wingtips only and may still seem a bit clumsy. And there's really no reason a seller would want you to believe the chicks are younger than they are at that point. When they're nearing maturity, that's when people lie to pass off young cockerels as older pullets.
