I don't believe that is correct. The standards in Europe & Australia are larger than US birds, and their bantams are smaller. Silkies have been in the US for much longer than in Europe (according to several European breeders)--Krys, Henk, please correct me if I am wrong on this. I have also read that it is very easy to lose the larger size of the standard silkies--that they will revert to smaller size if one is not very careful to pay attention to size as well as other traits in selection.
