            Different chicken breeds have WILDLY dissimilar sizes. Like 2lbs to 12lbs and some chicken breeds can get to 3ft tall.

            Here is a site I found that seems to exclusively talk about chickens with a list of different large chicken breeds.

    And now I’m reminded that I will forever be teased by the New Zealand side of my family… 😅

    I found a photo showing how large Kiwi can get, before we went to see them at the Te Puia Geothermal Park, and I was SHOCKED.

    “Shel, how big did you think they were?”

    I put my hands up🫸🫷to the size of a robin

    “I don’t know… bird sized”

    “Bird sized? … you’re gonna lose your shit when you see a ostrich”

    😐😑😐🙄😮‍💨

    Why is the word bird required? A kiwi is a kiwi, it’s literally the name of the animal. You don’t say pigeon bird?

    Americans want kiwis as pets. Trump would like the eggs. Give us kiwis please!
