Is it possible to create a large version of a True Bantam such as the Nankin?

It's possible, but would take a very long time to do so. It would be done the same way as you would make a bantam from a large fowl. You could either acquire a large specimen for the breed and breed largest to largest for numerous generations, or you would outcross to a similar breed and breed for Nankin type but select for the larger size.

It's kind of interesting to see a thread revived from years ago and be able to compare myself then with now. I don't necessarily disagree with the comments I made at that time, but they certainly could have been explained more thoroughly and could have been written more efficiently in a less (seemingly) condescending tone.
