walkswithdog, Are you saying that the Ameracauna are bigger? These were my backyard birds from a hatchery and I believe now, after researching BYC, that they were actually EE mixes sold under that name. They are rather scrawny.
How big (weight) are most Silkies?
Silkies are only bantams??? The only silkies I've ever seen in-person, and actually took care of for a while, were big --at least as big as my standard ameracaunas were. I'd say about 2-3 pounds? Wow... I've got to see a bantam!
edited to add: the roosters were at least 4 pounds, and they were...
