the silkie slickers

[Fur-N-Fowl]

A little under a pound? Those are tiny.

Yep! This one is the smallest I’ve hatched, last time I weighed her she was around 450g!

Not sure how much my bantam Silkies weigh. Will have to weigh them, before I breed them this year.

Typical American Silkie Bantams are in between our two British sizes (Bantam and LF).

You'll have to post them back here once you’ve weight them!

Okay.
What I've read, Silkie bantams: Males 2 - 3 pounds, females 1.5 - 2 pounds.
Is that correct?

I’m rubbish at converting weights and stuff but this is the British weights, maybe it makes sense to you?

 

[Fur-N-Fowl]

I’m guessing that would put them in the middle of our standards?

I'll have to convert the grams, so I know what weight they are, I'll be back.

Edited to put grams.

Probably.

I'll have to convert the kelos, so I know what weight they are, I'll be back.

I think I’ve just realised lbs is pounds

I meant grams for the bantam portion. I saw the pounds for the large ones.
