I've never really been around bantams; I have no experiance with them...but I'm wondering if my Salmon Faverolle pullet is a bantam. She just seems pretty small for her age
We got her from some other chicken finatics who we have gotten alot of chickens from- all the other ones have been large fowl. Sammy is 21 weeks today and all the other hens are still a LOT bigger than her, including her BFF, a wheaten maran runt Nutella, who is 36 weeks [and not laying]. Oh and Sammy isn't laying either, so she probably has room to grow but...
How large should she be at this age? Are bantams usually about half the size of other chickens? I can try to get a size comparison picture of her next to something and with the flock if that would be helpful.
Honestly I really hope she's not a bantam. I would love a bantam flock, but one bantam with six other large fowl hens...and with her being a usually-picked-on-salmon-faverolle too.... I'm not sure if that would turn out well.
