YES and NO..........!! WHY? yes for stablished breeds..the standards call for 14 pound roosters, some are larger and some are not...

the NO...is for check the Guinness world records, you´ll find a WHITE SULLY as the heaviest rooster, it weighted 24 pounds, but the breed seemed to have desapeared....if you consider Broiler parents a breed, these parents have the genetics to weight even more....

Jersey Giants don't seem like they are the largest breed to me.

The JG as you stated is probably biggest. The biggest breed not from New Jersey would be Brahmas, and I think Aseel are the tallest.

I once heard that there was a breed developed in Arizona or New Mexico that was bigger, but I don't recall the name.

(The breeders probably only did it to irritate TEXANS! Ha-Ha!)

I think you are referring to the Tuscon Behemoth or the Albuquerque Pseudo Turkey. (Both breeds now extinct)
