This bird was sold as a Barred Bantam Cochin 2 weeks ago at the age of 5 weeks. She is now easily larger then my Partridge Bantam Cochins who are approaching 10 weeks old. Shes also just shy size wise of my 3 month old Lav. Orp. and 2 month old J.G. I tried getting a juxtaposition between the partridge and the barred but it was tough. What do ya'll think?


Cant really tell in this picture but that's a big chick

Size comparison on her brother who are 3 weeks older
 
I'm going to say large fowl unless the person that sold her to you was wrong on the age and she is actualy older

That looks like a large fowl to me. However, I'm not sure that "she" is a she. The comb seems rather red for a ten week old pullet.
 
was sold as a pullet...but a bantam pullet then she had a growth spurt. she was smaller than the bantam partridge cochins when I got "her"
