Aww! She is so adorable! What an innocent little face!

Could you get a pic of her next to a standard chicken her age?

Here she is - (the other one in her pen (the Buff Brahma) also came in seriously rough. She was supposed to be 4 months and she is smaller than my 2.5 month olds!) - I am introducing her to the my other chicks today. They are HUGE next to her!

Hope this makes it easier to compare. I'm at a loss as to whether her growth was seriously stunted or whether she is just a bantam cochin. Ideas?

I've mixed sizes & they do fine. Bantams can be really small about a pound to about 3 pounds. Just basing on what you say & the background I'd say she's a bantam. Do you know the breed?

I posted her pic above.

How old is the light Brahma? If she doesn't get any bigger I'd say she's a bantam.

All of the birds surrounding the introduction pen are the same age as the Cochin (2.5 months).

Too bad you aren't close by! We got chickens for eggs/pets, so I'll need to re-home her if she doesn't grow significantly. We really like her already and would be sad to let her go.
