Height and length of chickens

[2mnypets]

My daughter has a project for 4H and we were trying to find a website that lists the different lengths and heights of different chicken breeds. We have Henderson's saved, but that site only gives weights. If anyone has or knows of any websites, we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I don't show chickens, but don't breed standards list weight, rather than dimensions? If so, I think it'll be difficult to find that information.

I knew it was going to be difficult. It's not for the showing right now, but rather a project that she is working on. Leave it to my daughter to find something nearly impossible to do.

How would you measure the height of a chicken? I would guess perky standing to mid back? Their necks and how tall they want to stand can for berries double their height.

its funny this was posted today because I was wondering how tall silkies were compared to bantam cochins

anyone know?

About the same, actually, although I think Cochins weigh a little more. I have both, and other than the feathering, I don't think there's much a difference in the roos. My Silkie hen is smaller than my Cochin hen, though.
