Like weighs the most or the tallest breed? If you are wanting a heavy breed brahmas are really big orbingtons are pretty big too Jersey giants are HUGE. If you are wanting tall the Malay is the tallest breed standing over 36 inches tall the Shamo is the second tallest standing over 30 inches tall and langshans are the tallest non game birds.

I'm raising standard/giant cochins. The chicks are even big! They are hearty in winter too- but not "great" layers. Also- they get broody ALOT.

You have the Malay and Shamo backwards "i think.." Though there are different types of shamo, Ko shamo (the bantams), Chu shamo (under 6.6 pounds), and O-shamo (over 8.8 lbs). I could be wrong they are backwards but i remember seeing the shamos close to 12-15, and 32 inches as a cockerel (a few breeders close/around this).. And malays were slightly smaller.. But i may not have seen the "big ones" in the malays, or could have just seen the "Big ones" in the shamos.

yet ANOTHER breed on my ever growing "breeds i want" list. You may be right that they are backwards but that is from Storey's Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds so I just typed what the facts in the book said
