>>5133714
It would just be a more dangerous casowary

>>5133714
This is a better use of selective breeding chickens.

I mean the largest and heaviest chicken breed in the world is the all American Jersey Giant, 26 inches tall and 7kg in weight. They were made with the same logic of:
>what if we have chicken sized emus we can slaughter for meat?
However chicken meat exporters soon discovered that for the price and upkeep for giant chickens is far less profitable than just breeding turkeys. You get more meat on the bone with turkey and you don't run into the health problems that you encounter with giant chickens because, just like a lot of other animals unaturally bred beyond their natural baseline size, their joints are not straining under such weight before avian arthritis makes them into cripples. You are not going to have giant chickens survive much longer past the chick stage if you want to push from 26 inches 7kg to 75 inches 60kg that emus inhabit. But then lets say you do manage that, why not just farm emus at that point? People already do and it would require far less work than some tinanic chicken that can't walk. Even turkeys struggle to grow anywhere near the size of the emu, with meat cultivators for generations trying to make gigantic turkeys with the likes of the Broad Breasted White that is a mere 45 inches 20kg compared to an emu, and even then, they have even more catastrophic health issues than a Jersey Giant like heart disease as well as respitory failure, not to mention the leg deformities.

So sadly no, not really. Also that man looks like he is shitting while tenderly carressing that poor chicken.

I wonder how long it took for that guy to calm down.
Maybe sometimes it still keeps him up at night.
>>
>>5133781
It was pretty funny seeing him make seethe threads over anons just replying to him with bears

>OP makes a post about the Asil
>one of the replies is a bear gif and an intentionally aggravating shitpost about how small Asils are and how Indians like to brag about how big the chickens are but always do weird camera tricks to make them seem bigger
>for some reason, OP goes ballistic and cause the thread to go over a 100 replies and creates the persona of the "bearfag" as an arch enemy
>anons keep posting bear pics while OP does multi-reply chains claiming it's all one samefag and not the thread dunking on him
>after anons screencap to show how it's different people in the replt chains and OP is acting like a schizophrenic, OP makes seperate threads talking about how much he hates the "bearfag" before mods removed them
>now whenever the topic of giant chickens pop up, anons either remember the possibly indian OP schizoing out or the dread pirate robert-esque "bearfag"
It's worth a read in the archives with how batshit it all was.
>>
>>5133714
It's possible but would take way too long time
>>
>>5133805
I do love a good schizo meltie

This is a normal sized chicken, indians are just small and this guy is pushing the chicken closer to the camera to make it look larger

>hmmm, yas
>by vishnu I like the dreaming of big cocks

>>5133714
That's a man (with feathers)
>>
>>5133805
do you think hes the one who attacked that bear a month ago
>>
well, this thread is getting off to a better start than the last one with the OP
>>
>>5133858
It's a copycat thread so I am not too surprised, it's a different OP from the last one and outside of the meltdown there wasn't actually a lot of traction in on topic posts. Honestly though I find it interesting that not a lot of anons talk about Dong Tao chickens, they are pretty rare in the west but are a decent size.
