Welcome to BYC!

Are you keeping them under a brooding lamp in a brooder, with chick starter, fresh water, thermometer with heat set at 95 degrees? You will want to do some reading in our learning center here on BYC as to how to care for your new babies...

How can u tell how old are they

 

[Kelsie2290]

Hello and Welcome To BYC! You really can't tell very well how old adult chickens are. Chicks you can estimate by how feathered and how big they are. You might try posting pictures of them, people maybe able to give you a general idea on how old they are.
