Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion - Page 333

Got my first 4 Jersey Giants today at the Oregon Chickens Swap.  2 Blacks and 2 Blues.  3 have already layed me a egg on the way home from the swap.  They are just under a year of age.  Got them from birdsnbeast and the blues are out of Shar Jennings line.  Love them   They are the sweets girls.  Will get pictures tomorrow  and post them.  Not planning on showing them.  They are just for pet and my yard but I would like to know what everyone thinks of them.  They have been with a rooster who was wonderful so their eggs will be fertile.

That's a TON! I only have 3 JG's, I did have 7, but Marek's outbreak happened. I have 1 Ameraucana (Yes a showing Ameraucana) 6 Light Brown Leghorns (One of them goes to shows with us) 2 BBDA's, 2 Bantam Cornish, 1 bantam Cochin, 1 Japanese, 1 JapaneseXCochin (accident!) 1 Minorca, 2 Red Dorkings, 1 Buff Orp, 2 BBR OEGB's, 2, Golden Penciled Hamburg bantams. And that's it! 24 chickens, of all breeds and sizes. 

Good luck with yours!

Ones for sale I have about 60 day olds to 2/14 hatch chicks.
Plus a few to hatch yet.
In the picture there is 7 brichen Marans ,3 bcm, 4 slw,2blrws,14 jg's,1 call duckling,8 ee/oe chicks
So not all are jg's they minus the blrw's are breeder chicks we will grow out and pick from.
The jg's I will keep till right at to over a year old before I sell any of them.
Others will then out where the extra cockerels will go once the breeder cockerel is picked.
I will have more jg's them anything if all the chicks hatch out of the newer eggs.
I have a lot of weeding out of the ee's/oes too.
Thanks also!

Awesome! Good luck!

Dial up warning!!!!!!

Here are the new chicks!

Fluffy cuties, congrats.    Hey check out those beefy shanks on some of those chicks! Either a couple of really hefty roos or you have some Cornish in the closet

Seriously brought tears to my eyes to see such cute baby JG's!

 I sure hope I have some hefty roos!!!!!

These big fluffy chicks are from Wynette's flock!

WOOT!!!!  Sorry you didn't get any splash, but they look great - fantastic job!!!  Yep, for SURE a few males in that bunch!  Man, do you take AWESOME pics!    Thanks so much for sharing!

Silkichicken......nice backgrounds for your chick pics...love 'em...

Does anyone know the genotype for Black Jersey Giants? I can't find it anywhere on the web.

So I'm hoping that someone owning Giants might know.

I made some Black Giant / Black Sumatra chicks last year and I am trying to figure out their genotype.

Now they are big, beautiful and laying daily. I have hatched about 30 of their chicks so far.

Thanks, Nathan

Thanks!

The background is disposable or washable. Boy do babies poop. LOL

Blue/black/splash, doesn't matter! They are all potential big boys!
