What is the biggest rooster you've seen

[Sugar Sand Farm]

Haven't seen any Jersey Giants but We have black Australopes and lucky is pretty big but my Giant cochin Roo is only 22 weeks and he is just as big. So are my orpingtons I can't wait unti they are full grown.

The saipan junglefowl are also called Malays. Or they are different breeds but I know that Malays get 3 ft.

Malays are close to the same thing. except malays are a fighting bird. Like Asils. and other oriental gamefowl. which all get close to or are 3 feet tall. The saipans probably have them in their make-up. or the others have saipan in their make-up one of the other lol, but are different breeds

Ps. plus the saipans are about twice as much in weight (biggest oriental i've heard of...was 16 lbs)

i think i'll stick to my OEGBs... bit too big for me lol

Hi!
My Jersey Giant boys are huge, but not mature yet at 7 months! I have a Light Brahma guy that WAS my biggest roo.
I'll have to do a side-by-side comparison tomorrow.

I thought Brahmas were as big if not bigger than Jerseys...

The biggest I've seen was a blue Jersey giant at the state fair. Brahmas may be a bit heavier, not quite as tall. The Saipans look tall and bony, to me, the giants are more substantial looking birds. But I've seen giants in person, and only seen photos of Saipans.

If you get Jersey giants from a breeder, rather than a hatchery, you'll get much larger birds, and I've read that feeding show chow increases size as well. Maybe one of the other members can elaborate on that.

He comes up halfway up my thigh.
Huge bird with a totally awesome crow.
