This video of a giant chicken had internet users like WTF?
According to poultrykeeper.com, Brahma chickens were imported into the United States in the 1840s from the Chinese port of Shanghai.
The Brahma was the principal meat breed in the US from the 1850s until about 1930.
A Brahma rooster can weigh more than 5kg, and a hen more than 4kg on average, although there have been records of Brahmas reaching 8kg.
They are said to be “gentle giants” and called “the king of chickens”.
One Brahma bird in Essex, Britain, that was vying for the title of world’s tallest cockerel, stood at 26 inches or 66 cm, and was not yet full height, reports said.
The Brahma is also a good winter layer of large brown eggs; eggs weigh approximately 55–60 g.
Almost the size of a turkey egg! The average weight of a turkey egg is 77.5g.
