Question about bantam cochin...

[susanah]

My bantam cochin is almost twice as big as two other bantams we got
that are supposed to be the same age. We think the other 2 are either
both OEG bantams or 1 OEG and 1 dutch. According to what I've looked
up they should all be 2 lbs. give or take when grown. Is this normal?
Or is my cochin not a bantam after all???

The cochins are a bit bigger than other bantams. I'm not sure if it is just all the fluff.

We've had 3 cochins. 2 bantam and one that is clearly full sized. We were told when we got her she was bantam but isn't. She also lays beautiful large sized brown eggs. Our 2 bantam cochins both looked bigger but when you picked them up you could clearly tell it was all feathers. Now Baby Blue our full sized Blue Cochin... she's quite heavy! I would guess that she probably is a reg. Cochin.
