how should 2- 3 month old bantams look

[Jennings Gamefowl]

i am buying some mixed bantams today, in fact in about a hour, just wondering how they should look to size... i have bantams so i know how big they will get.. all i know is they are true bantams but mixed breeds.... also i have a 5 weeks old game chick in the brooder, will i be able to put the bantams in the brooder to keep the game chick happy ( he had 5 others bros and sis, but they didnt make it past week 3)


*/*** also any pics would be nice to for size comparsion

What kind of breeds are you picking up? Bantams are not a breed. Bantam is a word used to lable the size of the chicken.

they are EEs.... I only said that they were 'true bantam' just to say they werent bantam over standard..... they look just like everyones EEs

EE's are not bantams

There are EE bantams. My pet chicken sells them. Here is the link.

Its the first Ive heard of them but that doesnt mean they arent any. I guess I cant help you if I dont know what size they should be at that age since Ive never seen any. I would be causious though. Some times people lie about what they have when they sell you chicks so that they can make an extra buck.

true, people have sold me chicks in the past that turn out to be something differnt that i was told.... I knew after talking to the lady who sold me these that there were indeed mixed, but i didnt care... but after looking at them and seeing the parents, i knew that they were EEs..... besides they were only a dollar each....

thats not bad. EE's are mixed anyways. So it doesnt matter if they are mixed or not. I was just refering to weither they were truely bantams or the usual standard variety.

the parents were bantams so i pretty sure that these will be bantams too.... the lady i bought them from only had the parents... her hen looks like a white/ peach color
