Just noting a size difference between the silver leghorns I have verses the white and browns. The first batch I got were 5 white and 2 silver. The silver ones are noticeably smaller than the whites. I picked them up from Tractor supply so I'm assuming Hoover Hatchery. This spring I ordered 6 silver leghorns and 4 brown ones from McMurray Hatchery and the brown ones are considerably bigger than the silver even though the descriptions are the same as far as size and weight when I look at different hatchery descriptions.
So I'm assuming silver ones just tend to be smaller in stature. They're very beautiful so I'm not complaining I was just curious if anyone else noticed the size difference too. Or did I just happen to get smaller silvers from two different hatcheries?
