We have one rir rooster that is a lower pecking order rooster that tends to have the bantam cochin frizzles with him often. What is funny is that my husband has seen them on the roost when he has checked on them with the roo allowing 2 of the frizzles to roost under his wings.

Has anyone ever seen such a size descrepency between two birds that are the same age? Very new to chickens!

I've seen this. My mother and I purchased 10 Black Australorp and 8 Welsummer chicks at about 2 days old. I was in charge of brooding and caring for them until they feathered out. Once they were ready to come out of the brooder, mom took her 5 BAs and 3 Wellies home to her little coop. (She lives less than a half mile from me.) The chicks are all 8-weeks-old as of yesterday and mine are twice the size of mom's. They have been since a week or two after she took hers home. There's only thing I can think of that she and I have done differently. I started letting them forage in the yard in a small pen during the warmest part of the day at about two weeks of age. I continued that after she took hers, she did not. I will see if she will bring a couple of hers up and let me take pictures of them side by side with mine.

From left to right: Roxie the barred rock, Honey (the small EE), Chantel (gold laced cochin, 4yr old son named) & Bunny (the BIG EE). The EE's were same size when we got them

I had some in the brooder that I had gotten at the same time and the same age. Most of them grew well but a couple of them did not! Then I found it was the pecking order. The stronger ones were not letting the weaker ones eat as much! I had to separate the smaller ones so the would get enough to eat. Now they are the same size as all the others and looking good!

I just stopped in to say hi to everyone! Things have been crazy the past few weeks and I haven't been able to go home but for a few minutes every so often. I had to leave my son at my cousins' house (where I'm currently staying) and they're watching him for the day while I get some stuff done at home. Dad sold our AGF flock and we won't be raising anymore of them. The RIR flock was moved to the AGFs' old pen along with our only surviving female duck. I'm not sure why the other 2 died. We lost them Friday.

Four cages still have to be moved into the pen with Suzy the pot-bellied pig and our mallard drake, Mal. I have to clean out the rabbit hutch so I can move my quail pair into it after it gets moved. The final thing on my list is to make jelly to send to someone I promised it to a month ago. Thankfully she understands how hectic it's been.
