What breeds have the biggest Roosters

YOu can get some pretty HUGE cochin roos. My cochin is twice if not three times the size of our standard hens. I'm beginning to wonder if we may have to get a smaller roo for them

Poor girls. YOu cant even see them when he mates with them.

Saipan junglefowl (looks just like the Shamos/asils/thais.. other oriental gamefowl) get up to 15 lbs. and are about 2 and a half-3 feet tall i've heard (as most Oriental games).. what makes the jersey giants known as the biggest is due to some that come from breeders are close to 18 lbs
 
The largest breeds I know of are langshans and brahmas. Brahmas are a real nice breed and I've had good luck with both the roosters and the hens have been wonderful layers. They are also pretty easy to find!
 
While the Oriental gamefowl are huge they are not good layers, so probably not the best choice if you're looking to sell eggs

A fully mature Sussex rooster is a thing to behold.

Indeed! He is a beautiful bird!

By "biggest," if you mean"tallest," then a Malay.​
 
Brahmas get huge I have some and I think they are pretty cool, big easy to handle, quite, handsom. I cannot get over how tall and wide these bad boys are. I vote Brahmas!!!.
