but when do their bodies stop growing, that is what I want to know. I know that they are grown/matured at 4-5 mo. but when do their bodies stop growing, when are they as big as they will get?

I think it depends on the breed. I have 2 Jersey Giants and I read that they will not be full size till they are 7 mon. Mabey if you looked up the breed your questioning. Here's a link that says some about when brreds mature...but It does not give exact time. Just slow or moderate or fast.

Sorry forgot the link. http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html

Sorry, I did not put the breed because I was also referring to silkies. I only have two chicks that are not silkies and they are Salmon Faverolles. Thanks. I will look at the link.
