Bantam or standard size???

[cdross]

I ordered some chicks in may. They are cochins, supposed to be the standard size. They don't seem to be getting very big. I am just wondering if anyone knows how big a 2 month old standard size cochin should be. I am really thinking they are bantams.

Standard Cochins do not grow very fast like other breeds. I had some hatch a week and a half ago and they are just now getting wing feathers. Other breeds start to feather around age 4 or 5 days old.
Hope this helps.

Can you post photos of them on here? I have a ton of bantams and a few standards in my flock. My standard size ones are 12 weeks old and huge. Maybe if we see photos we can tell you for sure what they are.
