there was a thread about it a couple months (like a year haha, how you like my couple months?

) where people debated this, Jersey Giants, Orpingtons, and Saipan junglefowl are pretty much the biggest so far.

According to Henderson's Chicken Chart the Jersey Giant is "the chicken world's largest breed."

Thanks everybody! I have standard size and banties. I felt like I needed a few big MONSTER chickens on the place!

DH just got 13 Blue Jersey Giants came home and told my son these are "Man Chickens" The rooster (daddy) we saw had to stand over 3 feet tall and weighed over 15 pounds but he was as gentle as you could imagine. These are mostly SQ birds so that may be why.
