How come my light Brahma isn’t as big as these pictures

[Chicken-lovebirdchihuahua]

Hello maybe this is some sort of breed of light Brahma but why are those so big and mine just looks like a plump hen? Sorry if this is a stupid question

thanks guys!

Those giant ones are probably line bred to be that big. If yours are hatchery, they won't be as big as high quality birds.

Thanks I didn’t know that but that makes a lot of sense

Also that pic is a cockerel which would be bigger and the child holding it makes it seem bigger Than if an adult were holding it.

There are no stupid questions. Most light brahma roosters don't get that big. I would assume it is from a specific line. My year old roo is bigger than my buff roo but mostly just taller rather than in girth. With poultry that is that size though I can imagine new health issues would arise. Your light brahmas are considered normal or average size for the breed and that's perfect in every way!
