Cute kid - and very funny story!

Nigerians are tiny, and amazingly tough. This is my "Millie" at one week old. She weighed right about a pound when she was born, not sure exactly tall she was - if memory serves she was about 7-8 inches.

I'll try and remember to measure the kids we are expecting the first week in May.

Officially the avg is around 2lbs at birth but it's not all that unusual to have them be Millie's size - especially since Niggies tend to have multiples.

Millie is still very much on the small side even for a Nigerian - at 9 months she is not much bigger than my Plymouth Barred Rock hens. So she is currently about the same size or slightly shorter than the Jesse's newborn.
