Sara-W Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I have 4 silkies that are supposed to be LF and 15 weeks old, one of which is without a doubt a cockerel he has an enormous comb and wattles and this has been obvious for weeks. Yesterday he started crowing being a silkie I didn't think he would start crowing for a while longer I also have 2 definite girls who have fantastic hairdo's -the fourth I'm unsure of They are all very small and I am now wondering if they are silkie bantams and maybe older than I thought One of the girls in particular is tiny (but very beautiful) Does anyone know how much a silkie bantam weighs? The cockerel weighs 2lb 2oz and the tiny girl only weighs 1lb 3oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 From the GB Silkie Club WEIGHTS LARGE FOWL: Male 1.8 1kg (4lbs) Female 1.36kg (3lbs) BANTAM SILKIES: Male 600g (22ozs) Female 500g (l8ozs) Hope that helps I currently have LF silkie girls who live in my bantam flock but are 2nd and 3rd biggest of them all but I have had a bantam previously and she was smaller than a pekin if that helps.

Redwing Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 My miniature female is smaller than a Pekin, the cockerel a little larger, the LF Silkies are bigger again but not as big as a hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
