How big are bantams

[Zahboo]

I know about 20 oz. BUT I can't help mom picture it. Does anyone have a picture?

There is a wide range in size of bantams, depending on the breed. The smallest are seramas--a full grown class A (I think that is how they designate the size--I don't raise them) is about the height of a can of soda.

Silkies and cochins are about the size of a volleyball (and not too differently shaped, lol). Brahmas are a bit bigger.

And everything in between. You can find a few gazillion (for a highly technical number

photos on feathersite.

The japs are about the size of a child's soccer ball: size 3 or 4 And with their tail they are kind of that shape too, but in a very different sense than the silkies or cochins. I think sebrights are similar in size, but more football shaped.

Edited for spelling reasons and to add that she is full grown. Almost two years old.
