One of my favorite pairings in the past has been two full-blooded Greeson birds,
Apollo & Leta. These two have bred quite a few BIG chicks over the last few years
and Big Boy is one that I've kept back for breeding.
One of the problems with this pairing is that the chicks (cocks especially) can be on
the short side when they've matured. But, their large size and wide build more than
makes up for their "shortcomings" and in the grand scheme of things, it's FAR easier
to add a little length than it is to add a lot of bulk!
Case and point- This year, Big Boy was set up with a long and elegant Cinnamon
hen from Ree Maple. 18R-414-04, who is a daughter of Ree's famed "Mush". The
resulting chicks are fantastic! Nice wide chests and an increased length to their
large frames. Success? YEP!

Here's one of the young hens from this pairing. In this photo, she's still being
handfed, but already the nice solid frame and big head are evident. As she grew,
she began to lengthen out beautifully. The photos below are three young adults
from their next clutch:
