I have what I thought was 12 standard-sized Plymouth rocks from Ideal Poultry which I received back in February, but they aren't even as tall as my knee yet. Are they bantams or do chickens just take longer than 10 months to reach full size?
 
tall as your knee?

I don't think mine are that big and they're FULL GROWN roos!!

I don't know how tall you are but I'm 6' and my bantams only make it half way to my knee, regular chickens are about knee height to me. My barred rocks have not been "tall"
 
I forgot to mention that some of my friends have the same breed and theirs are at least twice the size of mine.
 
Hmm maybe ideal just has small birds. I've only ever had mcmurray. Could they be stunted from worms or such? You should post pictures :-) How much do they weigh?
