So I have 2 pet silkie chickens who live in our backyard and are about 9 months old, both hens. I was looking up how heavy silkies are supposed to be, and I saw that hens should be 1-2 lbs??? I weighed them, and they are 3.2lb and 3.8lbs! They also lay eggs pretty much every day and their eggs weigh anywhere between 45-52g, which I heard was abnormal. Why are they so big?? Could they maybe be a mix of breeds since they're not super fluffy?
