Why are my chickens so small??

looks like my oegbs, i have a barred and a creole. Though yours seem to have bigger combs

That’s because your birds are younger

do they continue to grow comb? Photo was taken at 15 weeks which makes them about a month younger than Kimi’s. I’m leaning more towards Kimi’s theory that theirs is a roo.

Yes. Once they start laying their combs will get bigger and red, like any other breed. One of my bantams didn’t have a red comb until she was almost a year old, because she took that long to start laying.

I see, i havent had any of my birds get dramatically larger combs at lay, but maybe oegbs are different First time owning them and they are quite lovely
