After hours of speculation, we finally seemed to have answers. In a Facebook post, The Livestock Conservancy confirmed, "The chicken in that video is a Heritage Breed Brahma Chicken."
"This breed was developed in America from very large fowls imported from China via the port of Shanghai", they further added.

This breed of chickens are known to reach incredible weights of 13 to 14 pounds for hens and 17 to 19 pounds for cocks.
