How big is a bantam Cochin vs a standard hen?

Thanks

The one on the left is a 5 month old Blue Cochin Frizzle rooster.

The one on the right is a 1 year old Black Cochin Frizzle Rooster

@Homie Four
What are the parents colors of your hatching eggs? And LF or bantam

In one pen I have a mottled roo on a blue mottled hen, black hen (which went broody when I didn't want her too, but I don't have the heart to take away the eggs lol), and a black with red leakage (which I'm gonna take out of the pen once I move my splash in with my mottled)
In another pen I have a mille fleur roo on a frizzled mille fleur hen.
And in the last pen I have a splash roo on splash hen (I have one more splash hen, but I gave her all the chicks I just hatched out of my incubator because my heatlamp broke).
These ones are all bantam.
I will have LF later though because I have a young barred rooster with a buff hen, trying to see if I can get lemon cuckoo, don't know if it'll work though.

Matthew, about three months old....tried to crow the other day. It. Was. Adorable.

Are you sure he's a Cochin, looks more like a porcelain d'uccle.

Agreed with oldhenlikesdogs, I think that's a d'uccle.

Another cool color is Mille Fleur and Calico (these are some mille fleur cochins, smooth and frizzled)
