Banty Cornish Cross?? (Pics added)

[Wolfwoman]

Is this possible? I have two Cxs that are much smaller than my others. One is about 1/2 the size and the other almost 1/4!! Do they come in Bantam?? Kinda defeats the purpose!! LOL

Also, I thought Barred Rocks were standard size? I have one that is either a Bantam or growing MUCH slower than the others I have.

Here's a pic next to my Welsummer of the same age:

And here with a Barred Rock and a Spitzhauben....

Oh, yes, They come in Bantam size! I have a Dark cornish bantam hen.

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy :

Oh, yes, They come in Bantam size! I have a Dark cornish bantam hen.

Oh no I mean a Cornish CROSS... the HUGE eating machine birds...lol​

I don't know then ... I think that's what the cornish bantams are, aren't they?
A picture might help, though.

They don't come bantam and I would think that if they did they would have more leg problem than the adults do...

Actually the one that I think is a Bantam is doing great, but he is also not putting on the weight like the others. I also don't have him in the 'meat coop' with the others because he IS so small...lol

Pics added to the first post.... this Cx is 1/3 the size of the rest of the CXs I have!

The bird in your picture is a Leghorn rooster not a Cornish cross..

Thanks Chris, he came with the CXs, so I just figured he was one...lol

He might have been a packing peanut to keep the others warm...
