Learn how to determine the age of the chick



Here are two pictures that shows the wings of a free-range chick. Which one is a day old?

The topmost picture shows the primary wing feathers of a newly hatched day old chick. As you can observe, the primary wing feathers have just started to grow.

While the picture below shows that the primary wing feathers have developed. This second picture is from a 7 day old chick.

Learning about the product helps the farmer to minimize mistakes and mis-declarations of distributors.

If you have paid for a good CLASS-A Quality day old chick then you must not get cheated by getting a 7 day old chick. Since the growth rate of these older products are already questionable and the quality of feeds and management given to them are already questionable.
