Chicken sizes

[Iluveggers]

All of my current chickens are about the same size. (6.5-7 lb).

I was wondering how big a 4-5 lb chicken and a bantam would compare in size. Does anyone have pics showing a size difference? Thank you!

Bantams are SMALL. About a little over a foot tall. I dot have pics right now, sadly

What breeds are your birds? Most of my birds are 4-5 lbs. My bantams I haven't weighted, but probably 1-2 lbs.

Bantam suze totally depend on the Bantam too. My Cochin Bantam rooster is twice the size of my OEGB rooster.

I have a bunch of different breeds. Barred Plymouth Rock, Australorp, Gold Wyandotte, Olive Eggers (they are huge! Not the usual 5 lb ones) to name a few. We are getting an Ancona, Legbar, and WTB which are supposedly much smaller and I was trying to figure out what the size difference would be. Thinking about adding in Bantams but I have never seen any in real life and I hope someone has a pic of one next to a standard chicken just so I can see the difference.

Thanks, hopefully someone has pics!

Depends on the Bantam breed. Seramas barely reach 6 inches in hight

For those breeds, I would expect them to have similar heights, but the lighter ones would be be more slender. So they might look a bit smaller, but not a LOT smaller.

This thread has some photos that might help you. It's an older thread, so some of the links are dead, but a few good photos are still there.

The photo in the second post seems to have bantams (left 3 birds), and standard sized birds (including what appear to be Anconas, plus some larger breeds.)

Yeah. I have 2 Millie fluer d'Uccles, they are barely a football tall, maybe less.
