I'm genuinely wondering how large Orpingtons are supposed to be. Sunny will be 1 year old soon. And he's MASSIVE and I swear he just keeps growing! We don't know his exact weight since he's hard to catch but in the rare instances we've grabbed hold, he is HEAVY! Anyone else have a massive Orpington??? What are they like, behavior-wise? Also, if he somehow has exceeded what most Orps grow up to, what would you say could be the reason behind his massive growth? He basically reaches just below my hips and I'm 5'4''. This isn't a complaint, as he's a wonderful boy but good lord, do all Orpingtons get this size?! I've got people saying he's a dinosaur! I've never had a rooster reach his size!
