What are major dates for changes in chicks?
Well the chick egg hatches 21 days after laying.
It is born and takes roughly 2 hours for the feathers to dry.
At 7 days they need/ start eating grit to help their gizzrd properly function.
At about 20 weeks old the chicks or hens now start laying.
The Voice of a hen will get deeper as they get older but it is very gradual
This is about all that happens in a Chicks lifetime
Chicks will be all feathered out at about the age of 4wks.
They will maintain the peeping voice until about the age of 3 months when you will start to realize the change in their voice and YES,it does kinda %26quot;crack%26quot;.
Cockeriels esp will sound as if they have a hoarse throat as they begin to get their crowing voice. . . .Pullets have a noticeable change but not as dramatic as the cockeriel.
Once they get their adult voices is when you will quit seeing much change in them which is generally at the 6 month old stage. They are considered to be full grown at this age.
