I have five BLRW pullets that I got at the same time. Theywere all supposed to be five weeks old two are big, one a bit smaller, one a bit smaller than her and one that is literally half the size of the biggest. The teeny one is second from the end on the rigt in the roosting photo on my BYC page. I know she's not a bantam - breeder onlt raises BLRW and Copper Marans.

OK here are some pics... it looks crowded, but thats just cause they all ran to the opposite side of the brooder when my camera started flashing!

What are these? Are they both RIR, just different colors/sizes?

How about the red ones in this shot?

Other than the Barred Rocks, anything jump out at you in this shot as far as breeds go?

And I had to get a shot of Fancy Pants, I love how far his little leg feathers stick out behind him! I cant believe I didnt like Cochins!

Well from the picture I would say That the red ones on the top are probably the same breed. I can see the color difference but I can't really tell the size difference in the photos. They do variate in color amoung breeds. I guess that is the fun with assortments you are usually unsure what they are until they are bigger. What I wonder is if with your assortment if you will get some hens or if they deffinatly are all roosters. I know when you order they guarantee usually 90% accuracy. I always wondered though if they are positive about there roosters. Well hope you get it figured out.

The hatchery gives an 88% guarantee on sexing, so we could have 12 hens if you go by the numbers.
In the top pic, the chick on the left is almost 2X the chick on the right when looking at them in person.

Well, I would guess it is a different breed with that much difference in size. That is a big difference in size.
