Svarthöna Size at maturity?

Hi there

I acquired two little Svarthöna girls and am wondering how big they will be at maturity. The breeder told me they were not a bantam breed but they seem so tiny and are already 3 months old. I do have mostly English Orpingtons so perhaps they aren’t as little as I think. These little ninjas act more like cockatiels than chickens as they are often in the rafters of the chicken coop or the highest location they can find. Much more coordinated than any chicken I have ever seen 😳

they are super friendly and sweet just wondering if they will stay tiny. Any advice from any other Svarthöna owners???

They don’t look too little to me! They look like normal size for 3 months!
