What is the average age of a Rural King chick

[seabee89]

When buying three Plymouth Rock and three Oringtons today at RK, they could not tell me the age. I'll Post pics. I'm guessing a week or less, but I'm new to this? Have already lost one within 8 hours. Just checked the remaining fieve and they still appear to be doing oK.
I will be losing the heat lamp tomorrow hopefully and getting a radiant heater.
Love the site, learning a ton. Thanks for the help.

Usually chicks arrive at 2-3 days old and are sold before they're a week

If you can get the shipment date from the store, add 2-3 days to it and that'll be an accurate age for the chicks.
