HOLY HUGE!!!

That is an old video.

The hole is small and the bird is big but they are all feathers on the butt. He is not near 30 inches.

Andreanar,
that is still the funkiest, neat looking chicken.

He is still a very big boy!

That Brahma rooster in that viral video was overseas where they grow them way beyond the normal standard for Brahma males, weight-wise. And he is a huge amount of feathers, not as much bulk as you'd think, either.

Langshans are super long-legged guys, certainly. There are some Malay-type roosters who may fill that bill. I'm not sure where they measure. My Blue Partridge Brahma rooster here is only just over a year old, was about 25" tall at the head last time I measured, which is where I believe they measure from the head. He's a tall drink of water. Brahmas are one of the two tallest in the U.S., if I'm not mistaken. His partridge brother left here when they were much younger, but he was a bit taller than Sebastian at that time.

Writer of Words had a HUMONGOUS mixed breed rooster named Nugget. This story is always good for another read and if you haven't, you HAVE TO! LOL! He was super tall, a true giant. From that story, we get the line I still use: NEVER wake up Nugget!

Some photos are gone, but I found one of the famous Nugget!
