Exactly how fast do Marans grow?

I have two cuckoo maran pullets, don't know the age, and they seem to be growing very little. Could the be miniatures? Here is what they look like:

They don't look mature to me because their combs and wattles aren't very big yet so they still may do some growing before they are done.

Thanks. I got them last month and they have grown the least of all the chickens I bought. I read that they were fast growing, so I thought I'd ask.

Mine were fast growing but it may depend on what you are comparing them to.

Hmmmmm... I'm not sure. I raise those exact three breeds this spring and the marans probably grew faster than the rest.

I don't have Cuckoos, but my Copper Blacks grew scary fast. Two started laying about a week after the last my older birds did, even though the Marans were more than a month younger.
