BANTAMS VS STANDARDS -- QUESTION

[Rare Feathers Farm]

Okay--so I order 12 Sultan eggs from IDEAL last year. I got two to hatch & survive to adulthood, however I lost my roo already

I ordered standards & I was convinvced I was sent Bantams because of how small the birds ended up as adults...

However, I was talking to the "Crazy Turkey Lady" this weekend (she lives up the road & buys eggs from me for eating) and she thinks my Sultan is a standard, not a bantam??

Maybe my perception of a bantam was off because I only have MASSIVE Light Brahmas & big Cochins & the little Sultan looks really little in there...so I assumed she was a Bantam....

So how I do know if it's a standard or a bantam? I looked online & only found weights of the birds (like 4lbs for a Sultan hen, standard). This bird in no way is that much...so now I'm thinking she IS a bantam. Is there a height requirement? LOL I'm not sure I could weigh her...but I KNOW she's not more than a pound or two, at the most...

I'm asking all of this because I love that little bird & I want to order some more like her--but I want bantams or standards (whatever she is) so they can go in together & I can breed them...

Hope I made SOME sense?

Thanks!

If I remember right.... bantam sultans are bred to have the huge vulture hocks while standard is more or less close to regular feather booting.

Hmmm...she has pretty good sized vulture hocks....

I have a bantam and she is alot smaller that yours. so I am not sure she look standard. you cannot see light under my chicken she is so low to the ground..
