Sooooo, I bought those chickens on April 2nd from TSC. They were sold to me as 1 week old meat bird/Cornish type. Thanks to BYC , I found out they were bantam cochins.

First pics were taken on April 6th the 2nd pic taken April 17th, the 3rd pic is May 11th and last picture yesterday.

From what I am seeing here, no way they are only 3 weeks old in the 2nd pic.

Why am Investigating? This morning, I got a tiny bitty light brown egg and I am thinking it's the girl cochin maybe.

What would you guess their age was when I acquired them? They were fully feathered and ready to go outside.

From my investigation my Cupcake is around 18-20 weeks. She is the one who laid the miniature egg. She laid another one today. This is so exciting.
