Are Barred Plymouth Rocks bigger than GL wyandottes or SL wyandottes?

We have the one Barred who was a substitute as MPC was out of GLW pullets. She just seems bigger than the SLW chicks. Just wondering.

I beleive Wyandottes are equal to larger when full grown, but it allways depends on the strains..

I think on average Barred Rocks are slightly larger than wyandottes.

In my experience the SLWs matured a bit more slowely but caught up mostly in the end.

the Barred Rocks seemed to mature faster, and the SLW and the GLW seemed to mature slower. thats how my experience with the Barred and SLW turned out. but when they get to full size they're generly the same size

If they are from MPC then the BR is probably older, because MPC gets there chicks from diferent hatcheries.
So the BR is bigger because she is probably a few days older.

We call her Adidas - she is so darn cute! (my son pronounces it different than the shoe Ahdee - daaas)
He was thinking that is a name of a greek muse!

She really looks at us all the time and likes to be held.

She really is a sweetie - The Silver Lace chicks are kind of mean. They really peck at us and act like I am killing them every time I try to hold them. My golden Laced girls were very sweet and liked to be held. It is a wierd dynamic.

Well now I know. Thanks everyone
