Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and info!
It's safe to say I'm addicted to the chicken life already. I've been on this forum or reading my books in my spare time since they arrived.
I've been trying to find info on how to tell their ages. I bought them all at rural king, and a few look bigger and older than the others. A few already have more developed feathers on their wings and whatnot. Is there a definitive way to age them?

You can post some pictures of them on the "What Breed or Gender is This?" Forum and the experts will give their opinions.
