In April 2022, we hatched our own eggs that came from a friend. They had previously hatched eggs from their flock in the past and all chicks are identifiable. Now comes my turn… The only rooster in the mix was a red colored EE/Americana. The only hens are EE/Ameraucana mix with 2/3 sapphire...

What age do you think they are?
