What is the tallest breed of chicken?

[chickiebaby]

According to the chicken bible we have around, the Shamo can top 3 feet, but the Malay can grow to over 3 1/2#. My daughter wants one, badly. But she also wants fainting goats. I'm afraid both of these would push our quasi-legal downtown homestead right over the top.

No Malays in my immed future. All the more reason to post pics of your gi-hugic chickens!

My vote is always for "Nugget". Never wake up Nugget.

Where is a picture of "Nugget"?

We never have figured out his breed, but this is Nugget:

The duck is an adult Runner Duck and he towers over her

Buffy the hen in front of him is a full size hen

Nugget is over 30 inches tall and the last weigh in was 18 or 19 pounds I think, but that was about 3 months ago.

There are pics of my Black Jersey Giant Rooster in my siggy line. He is only 6 months old in the pic. He has another good 18 months to two years of growing.

You know I have a Buff Brahma RIR cross that looks a whole lot like a younger version of Nugget and he's looking to be good sized as well, I'm assuming it's partly hybrid vigor...

I say there's some Buff Brahma in that Nugget.

Nugget will be a year old Feb. 28 I THINK. I found a note on last years calendar that says Nugget Hatched, I just hope it's him and not McNuggets.
