Odds of big to small fowl

[Tonyroo]

Has anyone hatched out large fowl eggs and end up getting a couple of bantam size chickens of the large fowl?

My hatch from my own flock last month produced 2 bantam sized version of my large flock breed. There only 4 weeks old but there siblings are twice the size. And both sizes are developing feathers at the same rate. Just curious.

Happens to me all the time.
I usually hatch large eggs and hatch out almost all bantams every time. Likely because most of my roos are bantam sized. (OEGB, Sebright, Cochin, etc.)

Swedish flowers hen are large fowl breed. So to see 2 obvious bantam size from the group is a little disappointing.

I'll have to keep the 2 little one and sell some of the normal ones.
