We now have 10 chickens. Four laying hens, four pullets that are 12 weeks old today, and two bantams that are about 16 weeks old that we picked up from a farm in Salem area. It was thought that the bantams might be small enough to bond with our tiny "Tiny" Black Cooper Marans. Even the bantams are three times larger than the tiny one. I tried to get some photos of them as we attempt to integrate all ten together. The lighting wasn't very good and they were all very quick on their feet. I took Tiny out and did her photo shoot alone. You can tell that she is not much larger than the palm of my hand. Considering that the 12 week old pullets are almost the same size as the hens, she obviously is never going to catch up.
Here are some photos of Tiny and the Pullets from a month ago, and she really has not grown much in the past month.
