What is the largest breed of chicken?

[Majestic Lane Poultry]

The largest birds I have ever seen at the shows height and girth are Langshans. Standard Cochins look pretty awesome as well due to all the fluff.

ETA: I just read the last few posts and I must say that my Orpingtons bred to the American Standard just had the socks blown off of them by Orpingtons bred to English Standards at a APA sanctioned show....just sayin'

Ever hear of a White Sully?

Big Snow, the largest chicken on record, weighed 23 pounds, 3 ounces, and was of the breed White Sully developed by Grant Sullens of West Point, California, USA, and was owned and bred by Ronald Alldridge of Deuchar, Queensland, Australia, Big Snow died of natural causes on September 6, 1992

We found this monster in our front yard. Don't know the breed, though.

Honestly that sounds like a Cornish X breeding. . . I've known people to have Cornish X's grow beyond 20 lbs.
