Bantam or regular??

[Hlcorbett]

We inherited these girls from a family member. She thinks approx 12-16 weeks old.
I think we’ve concluded they’re EE.
My question is, how do I tell if they’re bantam or if they’ll be regular sized?

How big are they now?

They are EE. Something to provide a size reference would help in determining whether they were bantam or large fowl.

If they are bantam they will be small from the start

All EE pullets. To me they look like standard birds, but we need some sort of measurement.

You are correct, they are EEs. To tell if they are bantam or standard, we will need some kind of reference point. Can you take a picture of them next to something? Like a soda can, basket ball, etc?

Put them next to my queens of the coop. Is that helpful?

Hard to tell in the photos. EEs are not usually very big compared to some other breeds.
Standard size pullets weigh around 4 to 4.5 lbs full grown.
Bantam size pullets weight around 1.5 lbs full grown.
Hope this helps.

My EEs all weigh around 6 pounds. But since they are mixes, I could see 4-4.5 pounds being a thing.
