WOW I want my Jersey Giants to be that big.

Not quite as I'd worry of such size, but almost. . . Love big chickens.

im still voting for the saipans. 3 feet tall, you cant beat that.

I am going with the Malay. This malay stag below is a little over 9 months old and is close to 30 inches. I have seen several that make him look small. I have some of his sons crossed over a wheaton hen. I think they are going to be bigger then him. Unless you have some very good blood lines, most malay don't weigh over 12/13lbs.

This little guy is not even 3 months old yet and is 16 inches tall. I think he is going to be bigger then his dad.

Hope you don't try to show him. Anything over 11.4 pounds would be a disqualification in a Langshan cock.

BTW-I too would expect the Malay or some other oriental to be the tallest.

Now that this thread is back I still would like to know what the excepted measuring posture is. It just seems there is so much room for variation depending on the position of the bird.


Anyone know?

Thanks
