The chicks have arrived! Our little cookies and cream inhwrited the feathered legs and polydactyly! She's perfect!

Did you get other chicks along with the cookies and cream? I'm asking because I just got 3 and they all look smaller than my other chicks. (all standard breeds, too).

We did. We also got a cream legbar, an olive egger, a sapphire jewel, a blue laced red wyandotte and a rhode island red. Our cookies and cream was about the same size as our other chicks, the legbar was (and continues to be) the smallest. But there isn't really a huge size difference between any of our chicks now.

What are the other breeds you purchased? There can still be a decent size difference between different standard breeds.

Green Queens, EEs, Wellsumer, Barnvelder, Wheaten EEs and blue Andalusian....i should probably check the adult size on the site!

I have a 9w cookies and cream pullet and she is significantly smaller than my other standard size chicks and is about the same size of my silkie.

I looked at what mottled / crested chickens with feathered legs that Meyer has, and now think the cookies and cream are actually mottled cochin bantam and white sultan mix. That can explain why they are smaller than standard size chickens.

They show their mature weight at 5.5 which is the same weight as the EEs/americaunas. They just look so much smaller at this point! super cute, tho.

If you read the reviews of cookies and cream, most people said they are much smaller than standard size chickens and not even close to 5lb. Mine is always the same size of the Silkie, so I seriously doubt she will be over 3lb. She is super friendly and cute though.

Well that works I guess, I have room in my Polish/silkie coop...they may fit in there just right!

I had cookies and cream—they were about 2.4 lbs at almost 6 months/ I expected them to be about
3-3 1/2 full grown(about 8-9
Months old) unfortunately got sick and died a few months back….they were very sweet and friendly, very pretty. Produced small eggs about 3-4 times a week. I would love to get more though, they were very docile, easy to handle.
