About how tall is a six week old chick?

[HENS-and-MARES]

How tall is a six week old chick? If you don’t have a six week old chick how old is yours and how tall.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

There is no set height unless you know the breed. A 6 week old malay would be taller than a full grown serama.
A Jersey Giant of the same age would likely be twice the size of same age silkie.
A 6 week Barbezieux may be 3 times as tall as the same age bantam Dorking.

I have Barred rocks, buff Orpington, lavender Orpington, buff Brahma, Barnevelder, Australorp, Laced Wyandotte’s. Except for the Orpingtons they are all currently about the same size.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Are any bantams?
Are the Orpingtons taller than the others?
Those are some nice breeds. I especially like Barnevelders.

 

[HENS-and-MARES]

No bantams.

 

[HENS-and-MARES]

The Orpingtons are bigger.

My eight-week-old bantam Cochins are about two to four inches at their shoulder (do chickens have shoulders?) and my eight-week-old mystery is about five to seven inches at the shoulder.
