If you are interested in a large fowl, contact the current importers and sellers and see if they have any oversized birds available.

I have a few I bought from Marc and I must say they are really on the large side. I posted a picture a few pages back of my oldest cockerel and he is larger than my LF ameraucanas.

It is my belief that these birds were crossed with large fowl at some point; probably pretty recent. This bird in no way resembles a bantam in size.

I agree with Pips- Marc has much bigger birds than what one would consider bantams, and the roo I got is a bit bigger than my LF American pullets. He's not as big as my LF cocks, but he may have larger in the works.​
