We asked TSC to pick out some chickens good with kids and they added two white Jersey Giants. They’re the best! Solid layers, friendly and docile, I’m just sad they’re so hard to find. We lost one randomly this spring and it was so upsetting. Here’s Fluffy!

Here are some of my Jersey Giants that have just started laying at 4 months old:

And a Jersy Giant rooster:

I personally love the blue variety, and i also love the black variety. I wonder how it would look in buff coloring...

*the chicken towards the back in the first image with a pea comb and looks white-ish is an easter egger, not one of the Jerseys.

We got our first Jersey Giants about a decade ago. They were hatchery birds but beautiful and so docile. Fast forward to now when we can have chickens again and Jersey Giants were top of the list (actually the only breed on the list). We have a small group of juveniles at the moment and want to raise them to the breed standard. We have black and white Giants. I can't decide which is my favorite.

This is my rose. She is about 6 months old. She just started laying a few weeks ago. This was a picture of the first egg and the 6th they got the end of the first week. I had no idea they laid this much! She lays almost one a day, about 6 a week. She loves to lay her eggs in this dog bed. She goes outside during the day. I bring her in at night and she sleeps inside my house. I bought a diaper for her. She is a snuggle bug, very laid back and chill. I have six dogs inside the house too and she just thinks she's one of them. She jumps for treats, it's so funny to watch. Every morning I get up and have my coffee and she sits with me along with my other two. I have a porcelain D'uccle and a blue australorp chick. They're all three buddies. LOL

We had a very nice looking BJG rooster. Very large too.

Next to full grown GLW

There is a full grown SLW behind him in this pic. The coop is approx 24” elevated and his back is almost as tall as that. He had the nice spreading tail indicated in the APA book of standards.
