How big will we get

[2chookchooks]

Just curious if you can tell by a chicks weight at a certain age how big it will be as an adult . I how two farm mutts that are now 5 weeks old , I'm guessing they are going to be on the bantam /smallish size. Parents where smaller than the isa browns I had previously

Luna the grey female is 271g at 5 weeks and 1 day
Mardi the red make is 284g at 5 weeks ( he hatched 24 hrs after her ) .
Mumma (non biological) in back ground is a 1kg silkie , will they be as big , smaller or bigger than her

They will most likely be close to the size of their parents.

They will most likely be close to the size of their parents.

Thanks , That what I guessed, thing is I

don't own their parents ( I got them from the local rescue farm as day old/pipping chick ) I have photos , but no size guide of the parents ( and we are not actually sure who the dad are for sure )

I might need to make a drive back out to check on mums size
