Giant Cochins are just large fowl cochins, as opposed to bantam cochins. Just look for large fowl, or just cochin.

 

[ClucksAndPeeps]

Giant Cochins are just another word for standard-size Cochins.

So what about exhibition cochins? I was told they were a larger than standard size cochin.

Nope, I think it's just like the difference in show/heritage birds and hatchery birds of pretty much any breed. A hatchery Orp vs a nice exhibition Orp is probably quite a size difference, also.

Heritage breeds are usually huge compared to hatchery birds of the same breed.
