Do any breeds have longer tails? (actual tails not tail feathers)

[SamW1993]

I'm new to chickens in general and am getting into breeding and chicken habitat design. Does anyone with experience in raising and/or butchering have any input on true tail length (free caudal vertebrae) variation between breeds?

I bred a brown leghorn roo with a Easter egger hen and got a few girls with beautiful lengthy fanned tail feathers - ( I don’t really have a lot of experience breeding FOR tail feathers, this just sorta happened, I breed for fun and sell barnyard chicks) - for reference, here’s some roosters out of the same batch aswell.

Beautiful birds! love the horizontal look to the tails, i'm looking more for information on the tail itself (the meaty and bony true tail) not the feathers attached to it but thank you for the reply.

Well, cornish cross and white leghorns have significant amount of tail (flesh and vertebra). For CX at 9 wks it's about 1-1.25". My white leghorns are still growing out, but they have actual tails, where my other chicks don't have much. The rest of my mature chickens seem to have tails that are less long than the CX. (Prairie Bluebell Eggers, Starlight Green Eggers, Buff Orpington, ISA Brown, Golden Comet) I had a production red rooster, 1 yr old, with about 1" long tail.
