I think I got had. Purchased 4 eggs from eBay that were supposed to be Cinnamon Queens but I think the person bred CQ to CQ and now Im stuck with non-auto-seeable birds. In CQ the males are born white and the females are born brownish. In my case I had 2 hatch, one was white the other brown...

I've read that some bloodlines get exceptionally larger than others. Does any one have personal knowledge or opinion as to what breeders have the overall largest Jersey Giants?! Thanks....

Not sure this is right forum for this. How long do these things take to mature?! I have a splash Roo that is 8.5 months old and barely has a comb or waddles. He doesn't crow yet and weighs almost nothing. He does have the rooster feathering just wondering when hes going to be the big majestic...

I have a pair each of about 2.5 to 3 week old Ducklings. One set is of a nice pair of Blue Swedish Ducks and the other is a pair of Rouens. Awesome ducks that I have been trying to handle as much as possible to make them friendly. They are still peeping but I am starting to see blood feathers...

got these 4 little ones as an engagement present...any idea what the two breeds are and around about what age?! Thanks

Just an update. Thought this JG was a boy but now I'm second guessing myself. 4.5 months old.

I can't get a straight answer via an internet search but just looking at the 3 Basque chicks I recently hatched it seems to me that they are auto sexing. Take a look. I have two chicks that are similar in appearance with dark wings and an obvious "spot" on their head (meaning their heads are...

Just added my 2 month old splash jersey giant to the outdoor coop and the big flock. I started noticing him walking almost like a marching style. He extends his leg straight out, opened toed without bending at the knee joint. Imagine as if your chicken was trying to step on something. That's how...

This is "Popeye" my 4 day old Marunda Basque w. crooked beak and one eye. I have never hatched a baby with a deformity like this before. I was hesitant if I should cull him or not until I saw him eating, drinking and keeping up with his hatch mates. Please, post pics of any of your cross beak or...

Im leaning roo due to the crest size and shape for the age and the reddening of the comb...what do you think. 5 weeks old. *the flash washes the red out of his comb...sigh*

What does every one think. I originally thought Pullet because it feathered out quicker but the comb is turning pink unlike the other Orp I have that still has no tail and comb is a solid yellow.

Leaning towards male, but then again I don't know Sussex very well.. approximately 8 weeks.

I was wondering what role if any does color play in the overall size of Jersey Giants. Do blacks get larger than whites or splashes? May seem like a silly question but my black JG roo and black pullet seem to be growing faster than their hatch mate a splash JG roo. Keep in mind they are in the...

I know JG's are notoriously hard to sex but I just wanted to see peoples educated guesses: Boy Girl and Boy?

These are the birds Ive been posting about since they hatched. A lot of people said they could sex them at 8 weeks so here it is. Thanks for any opinions! Bird one: The biggest: Very friendly, No comb but the pink wattles bother me. I would hate this one being a roo ~~ Second bird...

Born the first week of December....may still be too young but give me your opinion: Bird #1. My guess: Rooster Bird #2. My guess: Pullet Bird #3: My guess; ???? Bird #4: My guess: Rooster ........................................................... Silkie #1: My guess: ...

Ok this is my first time hatching Tolbunt eggs. They were purchased as Tolbunt or Cuckoo Polish Crested. They are about 2-3 weeks old now. Take a look and let me know what you think please regarding Gender and adult presumed color (tolbunt or cuckoo?): 1) This is Ed. The only one of the 30...

I have four 1 week old backyard mix chicks. 2 look like black cochin bantams and 2 look like some sort of clean legged Silkie. 6$ each. Will do package deal. all 4 for $20! l also have a 2 week old Silkie. It is straight feathered but its father was a Sizzle aka a frizzled silkie. not sure if...

What do you think the adult color of this Silkie will be?!

Purchased these chicks as an assortment. Cant ID these two out of the bunch. The selection to choose from is Sebright, Cochin, D'uccle, Serema, OR Silkie. They only have 4 toes so Silkie is out the door and they have feathered feet. Take a look. I took the best pictures 4 day old chicks would...
