adult chicken size

[chickensista]

Hi all,
I was wondering when the girls will be fully grown. They are 11 months now. I thought they were big(compared to their previouse chicky selves). Well, I went to a local farm yesterday and their chickens(same breeds) are at least 50% bigger. They were huge! Will my girls still fill out some?
Thanks!
Terry

Yeah, they will get that big. It usully takes like 25 months then they kinda steady out

It seems to me that they continue to mature til after the second molt. They become hens at 12 months, and seems like they are true adults at 2 years. Just my opinion though.

Hi Brooster,
Did you mean 25 months or weeks? My girls are 11 months... It sounds like they will get bigger. Not sure if they will reach the size of those farms hens - they were really big. If they do I may have to give them a bigger run!
Thank you Brooster and Bigzio!
