Ok so the one's I've seen on here make me think I'm thinking of Old English Game Bantams. Most bantams don't stay that small right?

seramas are the smallest chickens. the micro seramas and class A's can be as small as 6 or 7 ounces full grown. Old english game bantams tend to be 18-28 ounces sometimes bigger.

We have had quite a few silkies in the past and they seem to be just a little bit smaller than our regular chickens... but they are considered to be bantams right?

I believe silkies can be both, bantam and standard.

Sebright? You didn't mention a particular color? Or pattern?

 

[ACM22]

I didn't say any color. The ones I see usually are brown hens and reddish roosters. From looking at pictures it looks like Old English Bantams. What hatchery would be a good one to order these chickens from? Are Sebrights that small also? Because they are also beautiful chickens.

they should be about the same size as OEGB, 26-28 ounce roosters, then hens being a bit smaller. but hatchery birds tend to be a bit bigger than the standard calls for.

My sebrights came from Ideal hatchery and they are way smaller then even my silkies about half their size but they are flighty and skiddish at least mine are. I have I buff and and one silver laced hen and one Silver laced Roo, they are really bad layers but very pretty birds.
