Thinking about getting game chickens

[kye58]

Hi all, I'm thinking about getting a few game chickens because I like the way they look and was wandering what breed is the largest? Are there any games that are jersey giant or brahma big? Like 15lbs or bigger? I have about 55 non game chickens now, blue laced red Wyandotte, RIR, Easter egger, FBCM, silkies, buff orp, barred rock, and polish top hat.

I don't have game chickens, but I've never seen a large one, they are more like bantam size, weight wise...

I've heard of shamos or sapain jungle fowl being really large tho. Are they not game?

Yokohamas and shamo are both larger breeds, I believe.

I have o shamos and they are pretty big. Make sure you read up well on them. They require space and they do not mix at all in general population. Both the cocks and the hens will kill any chicken they can get to. Unless you put them on tie cords you have to be very careful they cannot get to each other. They will fight through fencing even though it rips them up. They just don't stop till one or both are dead.
This is my white pair as youngsters.
