Russian Orloff, full grown when?

[yakitori]

I've been told that the orloffs are slow to mature, right now my two girls from TSC are still fairly slim and the same size as the EEs. I believe they are yet to reach their full size, so I'm wondering how much more they have to grow?

More info: They are currently 29 weeks and started laying eggs at 24 weeks with all my other girls, giving about a small cream colored egg every two days.

It will take chickens a long time to reach full size. Usually 8-9 months but some breeds can take much longer, even over a year.

Oh okay, thanks! I was expecting them to be a lot bigger, but they’re looking quite lean...

"Lean" compared to what? From what I have seen they are a leaner breed. (Than say a sussex or something.)

My Russian Orloff is 10 months and she's always been noticeably the smallest of that flock. She was the 6th (of 7) to start laying and the 7th is still freeloading. She might get a little bigger still but I don't think she'll ever be as big as the others.
