    Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion

    I am just starting to get a couple eggs every now and again. Most of mine are too young yet, should start laying in a couple months. I am starting my cull in a couple weeks, and will only be keeping 1-2 roosters, and half a dozen hens or so. Unless I get a chance to build another coop and run...

    HELP

    Something else to consider is cost for feed, I really love my giants, but they sure do love their feed. For me, it is well worth it though. Sent from my LGL75C using Tapatalk 2

    I always candle around day 7, day 14, and 18. I like to see air sac development, to help know if my humidity is correct. I also like to keep an eye on embryo development throughout the process. I have a cheap candler that came with my incubator, in a kit. I can see in my Jersey Giant eggs pretty...

    How old are they? If chicks, you have plenty of time before they lay

    We have created a FaceBook Group dedicated to this fine breed, if anyone would be interested in looking at it. We created it yesterday, so there are not many members yet, but hoping to be able to help fellow JG lovers out with things. https://www.facebook.com/groups/jerseygiants/ Thanks.

    First off; I am by no means an expert and am still very green when it comes to breeding chickens, but have done tons of research, and have plans to try and implement some of what I have found during the course of my research. With that being said, I will try to convey to you some of my findings...

    How long should i keep it in the incubator?

    If there is more to hatch, wait the 2-3 days, if he is the only one, after dries out.

    my chick hatched now what

    If they all have not hatched, leave them in there for a couple days. They can last a couple days with out food or water.

    Thanks for the advise, Wynette. I also picked up breeding trios when I got my eggs, so I am getting several eggs a day from my flock, to put in the bator. I tried spreading things out with my last breed, and never did get it all worked out right, got chicks here, eggs here, rooster there. Never...

    Thanks Herman, I will keep you updated. I am expecting a much better hatch this time. I went and got a different bator, one with a turner. installed fan kit, and got some new instruments and check them. My other bator, which is a still air, is now being promoted to hatching only. I will make a...

    Well, my hatch went horrible. Set 2 dozen eggs from a breeder, I went and picked up, and my instruments were off. The first one hatched early, ripped its abdomen, made a real mess out of the bator. Next one pipped on the wrong end of egg, drown while we were gone, took the dead ones out, and the...

    How long can I collect eggs?

    Write the breed, or something that you can tell, on eggs with pencil. If no turner in it, put x on one side and o on other. That way you know which way to turn up next turn.
