Tall...?

But could we do a project????

My Emu may be considered a chicken, her back is yellow, ha ha

Thanks for all the info. Just wondering if it would be possible to get an actual height on Nugget. His comb is interesting also.
Thanks,

Nugget has a beautiful comb, it's tall, thick, bright, you name it. Last time he was measured he was somewhere around 32 inches, but it's really hard to measure him when he ducks, squats, etc. When he stretches out to crow he gets even taller. His real size is in is bulk, he is massive, his pictures just do him credit. This coming weekend I'm going to try and get a good weight and height on him.

I STILL think Clyde could beat Nugget....

Size difference between Clyde (black Langshan) and a Buff Orp X Light Brahma cross.

Clyde amongst his harem:

It's not all fluff...lol. I had to have a neighbor come over to help me wash him in the tub...he was too big for the sink.

Nugget's comb looks like a cross between a pea comb and a straight comb. The middle row gets longer and the whole comb is larger than a pea comb but since the pea comb is dominant the general shape is still triple ridged. Here is a pic of my young Brahma x RIR for comparison
