What is the tallest breed of chicken?

[Boo]

I'd first like to say hi to you all. I have just registered and so I'm
a new member here. I live in Ontario Canada and I'm just starting
a poultry yard. I love exotic poultry. I recently bought 4 Malay
chickens from a fellow here and I'm having a tough time finding
anybody that has any to sell. I would love to get a couple more
hens. Can anybody help me out with this?

Im kindof wondering the same thing,
I'd like to know what the biggest (in terms of mass) aswell as tallest breeds are in order from biggest to smallest, of the majority of the largest breeds, such as Giants, Javas, Orpingtons, Rocks, Cochin, Brahma, Langshan etc.
in other words, whats the overall biggest breed in both mass and hight. Im guessing Giants, Brahmas or Langshans but any thoughts/ideas?

I still think Malays are the tallest - Average heights are at 30 inches, and most exceed 30 inches high.

And they're not just birds with tall heads, their entire body rockets to the sky.

the tallest would probably be the malay, jersey giant, langshan, or a ixworth
