How big is Banty?

[LilPeeps]

Here's my NN with a modern pullet, cornish pullet, and d'uccle rooster...you can see the size difference.

Here she is next to my sebright roo and huge silkie roo...

Anywhere from a pound and a half to about 4 pounds, depending on if it is a true banty or not, thats my experience.

He looks like an old time(16th cent?) French King all dressed up for the ball.

Thanks everyone. The pic was really helpful Lilpeeps.

Looks like my little guys have a ways to go still. Their 4 months right now. How long until they should be adult size?

Glad it helped clarify

Yes, but that is actually a little too small. The standard calls for your Cock to be 22 oz and the hens 20 oz. I realize that the trend is for smaller birds and I have seen pullets in the 14 oz area win.
