How do you tell the age of peahens?

Answer 1

by checking the teeth, different sets of lamb teeth are lost at different ages, after all the adult teeth are in then you check for tooth wear. The teeth wear down at a fairly predictable rate.

Answer 2

1. All good breeders are going to keep records that they will give you when your animal is purchased that include the birth date of the animal, any medications given, all feeds given, registration numbers and more.

Lacking the information given by a good breeder we go to option number 2

Counting the number of adult teeth.

There is an order in which the adult teeth come in.

Here is a webpage that describes the order

Answer 3

Once the rooster has reached maturity it is difficult unless you know from the start.

One way is to look at the feet. Washed out colour indicates an older bird. Feet lose pigment as the bird ages, the legs do not keep pace with that colour loss.

Activity rate indicated age also, older roosters do not "chase" the hens as they do when young.

Answer 4

you can tell by their teeth to a certain age... if you look at their mouth and all the teeth are small (which are called their milk teeth) then the lamb is younger than a year...if there one set of larger teeth in the center of their mouth then they are around 1...if there is two sets of larger teeth in the center of their mouth then they are around 2...if they have three sets of permanent teeth then they are around 3...if they have four sets of permanent teeth than they are around 4...after four its harder to tell the age since all their milk teeth have already fallen out

Answer 5
