Pros: Good natured, eat little for their size, get along with other chickens, people friendly

Cons: Large size can interfere with high egg yield,

Love mine, Roos have been sweeties and they always get noticed.

I absolutely love mine.
I have 2 lines, from SoaringHawks Farm and Maria Hall...all are BBS.
So far, pullets are at 5 1/2 months, and laying beginning fart eggs are JUMBO...barely snuggly fit into a Jumbo egg carton.
They are docile, sweet birds, and I have heard no bickering or fighting.
They have accepted new birds into their flock with no issues at all.
They eat very little for their size, and are very people friendly.

I have been thinking about adding some Jersey Giants to my flock. If I get any I'll order 5 hens. It's good to hear they eat about the same as regular size hens. And also about their personalities. I have grandchildren that like to come over and I don't want anything that will scare them.
