I just got some new chicks and have some questions. Does anyone know how to age chicks mine have wing feathers and are starting to get their tail feathers? Is there anything specific I need for them? Is there anything I need to know about raising chicks? Thanks!

Pictures would help - in guessing their age. The best thing you can do is go to "Raising backyard chickens" forum above. Side tabs will open to the right, covering chicks, thru to adulthood and laying etc. Pretty much one stop shopping for answers to your questions. Also please visit The Learning Centre above.
 
Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Pics would help. But usually pullets get their primary wing feathers during that first week. Tail feathers start popping out at the end of that first week or early on week 2. Have you stopped by our learning center for brooding tips and raising your new babies? Here is an article on raising your new babies and a link to the learning center itself...

Sorry the pictures are late but here they are. So how old do you think they are? Also do they look like EE's cause I think they do?
