pixiewish Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I just wanted to check...how much bigger would you expect a gold-laced orpington bantam to be than pekins? Pie (my orp) is looking much bigger already than Korma and Tikka and I am bit worried as they are only 7 weeks that the size difference is so noticeable already!!

The Dogmother Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 That's a piece of string question both can vary wildly in size within their own breed but generally you can expect an orpington bantam to be at least twice the size of a pekin.

mollyripkim Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Weight wise, my silkies are all around 800 to 1000 grams and my bantam Orpington is 1500 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Orpington bantams should be significantly larger than a Pekin but the gold and silver laced never seem to get as big as the standard colours luckily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
