My light Brahma bantam is appx 20wks.. she (I believe) is a decent amnt bigger than her sister. Her sister was stressing her out today and she kept making crowing like noises 👀 she is a hen correct? Now I’m second guessing between their size and appearance differences and the crowing noises today..

Thank you for your help! 🐓

Imma say pullet as well!
 
She isn't a bantam, full size for sure. It's a pullet.
Is she full size? She is smaller than the Rhode Island reds, jersey giant and black sex links we have that are her age. I have heard bantam Brahmas tend to be closer to normal size non Brahmas as it’s a smaller version of a very large breed so not as tiny as other bantams. Could she be a bantam but bigger due to that? Curious if tsc sold us two regular size Brahmas then 👀👀

If she is 4 months, than no she is not full size. Brahmas grow slower and longer - most chickens, in my experience - are not full size until at least 10 months of age. She looks like a regular size Brahma to me.
