How big to silkies get?

Silkies have always scared me, but I think I'd love to have a big white standard pullet silkie......

Pennie1 seems to have pretty good size Silkies. She has a few pictures posted under the Fat Chickens thread.

Can't tell how big or small yours is without something next to it for a size comparison. /img/smilies/smile.png
