How Big is a Full Grown Hen?

[mimipeaches]

I have 10 hens and I want to know how big they will get. I have a Cuckoo Maran,Blue Andalusian, 2 EE, RIR, Buff Orpington, Welsummer, Black Sumatra, Black Australorp, and a New Hamshire Red. I don't know how much they are supposed to grow. Does anyone have any pictures of you holding a hen or a size comparison of any kind?? Thank you!!

Are they actual hens, meaning at least a year old? If they’re less than a year old they are pullets and will weigh less than a full grown hen of the same breed.

They are pullets.

Cackle Hatchery google it. Sells chicks and grown birds too. When you look at a breed they have a nice description Weight, egg production etc. That might help you.

Not sure if they list height. You'll have to look.

Are you thinking of taking them on the bumper cars at an amusement park?

No I just don't have a way to weigh then so I thought that height might be the best way to see if they are full grown.

Are they laying?

Are they laying?

Not yet but they should soon and I thought that I could tell if they were about to lay by their size. And can hens or pullets grow after they have started laying?
