Hi, my girls are now 10 weeks old. I purchased them from a hatchery and asked for hens and am fairly certain they are all hens. The odd thing is they are basically small, medium and large in size. Is this normal? I know that brahmas mature slowly, but is it odd to have three of varying sizes? Also, I am noticing a lot of large feathers, well, say, 6-12 over the course of a week in the pen area, but have been doing a lot of observing and can't say that anyone in particular is being pecked/picked on. Is it normal for them to drop some feathers?

Thanks guys. Love this site!
 
The feather thing is probably just molting. There gettin rid of old clothes and growing into new ones.
