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.​

Silkies are true bantams, not a large fowl of the breed.

Europe has large fowl silkies and I had seen a few large fowl ones in canada too but that was many years ago. And north american I would call mediums, they seem neither large fowl nor bantam compared to what i have seen back in germany at shows.
