Are my Silver Phoenix chicks standard or bantams?

[Larkspur88]

This is the chick in my hand. It's obviously a bit older than just a day or two old. It's wing feathers are already pretty filled in.

And for size comparisons this is the same chick from above pictured with my 2 week old silver sebright. They're roughly the same size? I have 4 of the phoenixes total. I got them today.

Oh, and how much do they cost when sold as adults? Just on average if anyone knows? Thanks so much!

They come both large fowl and bantam.
Are you sure it is a Silver Phoenix? Looks more like a Golden Phoenix is why I asked.

If the sebright is 2 weeks and the pheonix is probably 4 or 5 days old i am going to have to say it is a standard size. Bantam pheonix chicks are a lot smaller. They would have been about the same size as the sebright was when the sebright was there age.

Yep definitely silver Phoenix. They're very silver. I had the heat lamp reflecting red on their fuzz in these photos. This was a local feed shop not a tsc mix up. They ordered in jersey giants, brahmas, and silver Phoenix chicks. I figured they were standard but they seemed really small but I just read they are small birds anyway.

Standard. Phoenix chicks look smaller at first but catch up quickly.
