    Jersey Giant VS Brahma

    I'm looking to add a few new birds to my flock........I've decided I want some big, cold-hardy girls (for Colorado winters) that lay fairly well. Both the Jersey Giant and the Brahma fit the bill, so I was wondering what the great folks on BYC thought. Thanks!

    I recently moved my 7 12-week old girls into the coop, and whenever I look inside the henhouse, there are quite a few feathers on the floor. I didn't think that young pullets molted...... could they be picking on each other? Also, is around 2lbs. a good size for a 12-week-old?
