Bantam or standard cochin?

[Bettacreek]

Well, I bought what I thought was a bantam cochin. She's now six weeks (maybe seven by now). The silkie that I bought at the same time (same age) is half her size. Did I end up with a standard cochin? How big are the standards supposed to get?! Anyone have size comparison shots of them holding standard pullets or banties?

Standard cochins are pretty big. My sister's is larger than my barred rock.

Eh... Pray with me that this really is a bantam then... I can't house a monster sized chicken.

My blue cochin roo is probably a good 12 pounds!! He's a big boy. My standard girls are probably around the 6-8lb. range.

Here's a picture of my bantam cochin roo. He's maybe 2lbs. if that at 3 months.

Hrmm. Well, this girl is 6 or 7 weeks and she only weighs about a pound, so maybe there's something wrong with my silkie?
