Do Cochins grow slower?

[Ilovechickens2023]

Do they grow slower or something? They are 12 weeks old and are still really small. They’re bantam Cochins. I’m trying to wait until they are bigger to intergrate them with my bigger chickens but they haven’t really grown since 8 weeks old.

"bantam" meaning Small.

Yes, cochins grow slower than some other birds, but a bantam will always be smaller than typical.

I knew that bantams were smaller. I was just worried cause this is my first time raising bantams.
