My first chicks - How old are they?

[becklinn77]

I just got my first Barred Rock chicks from Atwoods. The lady who helped me had no idea how old they are - and so I was hoping someone here could give me some idea.

I took this close-up of her wing so you could see how she's starting to get real feathers

Thank you for your help.

I have some that are 2 weeks old that have the same amount of feathers.

Thank you - I was guessing 2 weeks - but it was purely a guess.

yeah about 2 weeks sound right

1.5 at the most

I agree about 9-10 days or so. And you will LOVE this breed!

I've got a 3 week old BR with a few more feathers than that and more spotting.
