Day-old chicks

Tiny, fluffy, and fragile. Under heat lamp 24/7. Learning to eat and drink.

Week 3โ€“4
Feathers coming in

Week 5โ€“6
Awkward teenager phase

Half fluff, half feathers. Clumsy, curious, and eating constantly.

Week 7โ€“8
Moving to the coop

Ready for outdoor life. Learning the pecking order. Exploring their space.

Week 9โ€“10
Strong pullets

Full feathers, healthy and active. Foraging, dust bathing, and thriving.

Week 11RIGHT NOW
Growing strong โ€” right now

Active, healthy, and full of personality. Getting bigger and stronger every day.

Week 16โ€“18
Pre-laying development

Combs and wattles redden. Bodies preparing for egg production.

Week 18โ€“22๐ŸŽฏ Goal
