What Are Some Giant Chicken Breeds?

[Compost King]

I would say that cuckoo patterned rooster in my avatar is a giant breed but the hen in front of him is a tiny Serama. That rooster is a Cuckoo Maran BTW... Not exactly a giant breed but they do stand fairly tall.

Jersey Giants, Brahmas, Langshans, and Shamos are 4 large breeds I can think of off the top of my head. There are some heavy breeds that I am not sure would count as large. Cornish and Dorkings are pretty thick.

Saipans, Shamos, Malays. Some can stand over 3 feet tall and weigh over 15 lbs.

And some strains of Asil/Aseels can get pretty huge.

My Cochin hen is both huge and heavily feathered. I just love her size.

It looks like a light Brahma I had a rooster recently
