   I was at the state fair this week and I saw some cochins and buff orphingtons that were HUGE. I mean I have a 6 month old cochin and some 6 month old BO s but the ones I saw at the fair were like twice as big as mine.
   
   What is the biggest breed of chicken?

   I have heard that the Jersey Giants are the largest, but I think there a few breeds that are comparable in size to the JGs.
   
   Here's a similar thread from a while back that has great info.
