Is this a large breed or do they get this large rarely?

You literally asked in the first post if it was just a large breed. That's not knowing they're rare

Ok, fine. I did look up 'giant brahma chickens for sale' and none came up.

So I figured they were rare.

They're quite difficult to breed too from what my friend was told. Young cockerels only or you have to do AI because the adult males are just too large. Itnalso takes a good while to get that size, as well as an alarming amount of feed

Of course! Lots of food!

What kind of temperament do they have? Can you imagine getting spurred or flogged by a roo that size? Boggles the mind. But check out those drumsticks!

Most (if not all) hatchery brahmas aren’t that size. They have to be specifically bred for it.

My in-town rooster, a hatchery Light Brahma, was 2 feet tall.

Photoshop can make anything look the way you want. I'd love to have one that big, too! But I ain't found one yet!

It is a friendly, docile, and calm bird, and they are said to be very easy to handle. They do not fly well, so they are fairly easily contained. Although they tolerate confinement well, they do very well as foragers. They are very suitable for cold climates with all that thick feathering

Just because the breed is known to be calm doesn't mean every single rooster is going to be nics.

Pics like this took me in a few years ago and my brahma roo was already getting pretty big by the time he went crazy. The idea that they're gentle giants is wishful thinking. Every roo is an individual and most are satanic. come at me if you want, but a good rooster is a rare and precious boy. Keep them if you find them!
