stunted chicken - help!

[kriz the farmer]

i have one leghorn rooster he is about three month
he is almost fully feathered (90%)
and showing no growth in height
he is about five to seven inches tall
and have no tail but he is showing rooster behaviour

He should still continue growing, since he is 12 weeks old. Most cockerels don’t have tail feathers when they’re young. Is it possible he’s a bantam?

Roosters can take a whole year to reach maturity, I wouldn't worry about his growth yet. Just make sure he's eating a proper chick diet and you have nothing to worry about. Also sometimes parasites can stunt growth like an infestation of worms so if you feel the need to you could treat for parasites just incase

Oooh wait I remember you on previous threads. Ive said before but your chick needs to eat chick food not human food, that's why he's not growing

No ice cream, no cottage cheese and rice. Just chicken food

can leghorn also be bantam

 

[ChickenCanoe]

A majority of breeds have a large fowl version and a bantam version. Leghorns are no exception.
True bantams have no large fowl counterpart.
Some breeds don't have a diminutive bantam counterpart.
A standard (LF) leghorn is about 2 kg. while a bantam leghorn is about 0.8 kg..

What? You have fed your bird people junk food? Is that true?

Is this the same stunted pink bird you own with almost no feathers?
