Biggest of Breeds?

[SunshineSteedFarm]

I am looking for an all-around nice breed. I really like big chickens

What breed of chicken has the large size, but has the personality and egg laying to go along with it? Sorry if this has already been asked before. Thanks in advance!

Standard cochins are nice, mine aren't old enough for me to say anything about egg laying yet but I hear they are about average.

Cochins are the only really big breed I have experience with but I've heard Jersey Giants are nice. They're also REALLY big. They're the biggest breed.

Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and Ameraucanas which will probably be EEs, Black Jersey Giants and Golden sex links are some of the great breeds I have.

I raise the jersey black giants and they are a extremely large bird,and they are very gentle with all the people that come over.

I will have to do some research on the Jersey Giants.

I absolutely love cochins. They have always been one of my favorites, especially the barred,blue,splash,and red colors

I have also heard that Brahmas are one of the bigger types also. Is this true?

Thanks!

Brahmas, Jersey Giants, Langshans.

Malays too, but they aren't great in the egg laying department.
