    Jersey Giant leg and toe issues

    Thank you! I'll see what I can find. I agree about the dustiness, I returned a bag of starter because that's all it was!

    Jersey Giant leg and toe issues

    Thank you for that direction...I've done a lot of reading up on it since you gave it a "name". I'm now trying to figure out what to feed them. They should be on grower finisher at 16% protein, layer is 15%. I've heard that they don't need the calcium of the layer, but also not the growth of...

    Jersey Giant leg and toe issues

    I saw some improvement when I moved her to a larger area yesterday. I'm hoping with more exercise that she will get a little stronger. I've had crooked toe birds before and they've been just fine. One of my favorites (and firsts) was "Broke Toe Betty", I didn't know crooked toes were a "thing"...

    Jersey Giant Hens w/spurs???

    Jersey Giant Hens w/spurs???

    I just got my first Jersey girls, I bought them from a trusted feed store that sells a lot of chicks. They’re just about 3 months old and one is making crowing sounds. So I checked for spurs and yep, she has tiny ones. Then I checked the other two and so do they! I seriously doubt that all 3...
