I don't personally like cx, but I'm a fan of jersey giants and Brahmas. They actually get much heavier than modern broilers, but they require space and proper feed/water. Before nightmarish battery farms were invented, these were standard meat breeds.

I've yet to see a jersey giant or Brahma reach or exceed 19-1/2 lbs.

"Foghorn" made it to a tad over one year old. At his death he weighed 19-1/2 lbs.

As much as you try and in your brain you know it can happen and most likely will. BUT you still can't believe it when it happened.
