Chicken #2: The Jersey Giant

I needed to add a picture of this chicken with a person to show you just how effing huge this chicken is.





















Like anything else from New Jersey, this chicken can kick your ass seven ways to Sunday. It is the largest breed of chicken, clocking in at 13 pounds for males and 10 for females. This chicken is the true 'Situation'. It was developed in the 1880s as a way to replace turkeys as a large roasting fowl. I think it was actually so farmers could make jokes about 'Hey, come check out my huge cock'.

  1. This cock can be a house cat. We should bread them and sell them as 'new and improved' mouse killers.
