Ya know what? It's my fault...I totally missed the keyword bantam in front of barred rock! There's nothing wrong with a bantam laying tiny eggs...lol. I thought you were describing an obviously ill standard barred rock...my fault. Sorry again.Sorry, I didn't meant to sound like an ***. lol But I use my scale for baking and the measurements have to be spot on. So I know there isn't a problem with my scale. They eat Purina Layena pellet crumble mixed with Omega fields egg maker. They are really small chickens. I can use two bantam eggs to equal one large egg in my recipes. I really don't care if they get bigger or not. I didn't get them for the eggs anyway. They were my reward for beating breast cancer. I got them after my chemo and radiation was over. They are just pets with benefits. Because I have a Roo, most of my eggs get given to the neighbors for tolerating his crowing. (They are also "underground" chickens) So I am waiting to be put into the pokey any day now. lol According to all the information I have read, they are pretty close to the size they were supposed to be when reaching adulthood.
