Fern is the standard and is about the same size as Ida right now. I ordered by three bantam ee's from Meyers Hatchery. Fern was the only one I picked from the mystery chick bin that wasn't in my original order. The bin was all girls and they told me she was a standard size. She is beautiful but I"m surprised by her size compared to the others. On the other hand my partridge cochin will be 8lbs when full grown is only a third bigger than my bantam chicks.
That boy in the back was "Faith" now I have to think of something else to call him, and if I end up with an ee rooster I will have to find "Faith" another home. Her little "sister", "Grace" 's comb just turned pink today too.
Ooooh okay. Don't worry, they'll fill out in size as they mature.
Oh what's a good rooster name from my list..... Hmmm... I would name him Dude, but that's just me - and for Peep's sake I had a chicken named Platypus!
