Thank you to all who have shared their input/experience. I’m new to this forum thing but I believe you can all see this. Not sure. I check in here when I can but don’t have much free time. I will have to get in touch with Sandhill because I have heard that they have really nice Giants. As with...

According to Ideal, the chicks they have listed as Black Giants are Jersey Giants. I’m hoping to end up with at least one broody Australorp or Naked Neck. From what I understand the odds are in my favor there.

I wasn’t planning on Silkies but from what I understand this whole thing can get quite addictive. I’ll keep that in mind.

As with all living things, they are individuals so you have to allow for some variance and I understand that. I have very realistic expectations. I’m glad to hear that you’ve had a good experience with Ideal. They are in the top 3 hatcheries I’ve been looking at. Thank you for your feedback/...

I was hoping to get all 30 birds from the same place for ease of shipping. Both McMurray and Ideal have all 3 varieties I’m looking for. Sand Hill doesn’t seem to have the Naked Necks.

I will keep the biggest of the roos and the others will be for dinner. I have no interest in selling birds. I’m happy to hear about your JG cross. At least I know...

Thank you. Murray McMurray was one of the hatcheries I was looking at. I’m just looking for larger birds. I know people who have bought JGs and they were no bigger than any other production egg layer. I have heard that Sand Hill Preservation has good breeding stock but can be a nightmare to deal...

Thank you. I’ll take a look at what they have.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with Black Jersey Giants from any of the large commercial hatcheries? I’m looking for large birds as close to standards as I can get. I understand a breeder would be the best bet but that is not in the budget at the moment. I’m not looking to show/sell...
