McMurray told me they lost their entire flock to AF. We have gotten three batches from two separate breeders but we have had terrible hatch rates. We hatched 2 out of 12, then 2 out of 8 (one died after 24 hours), then 1 out of 7. We are waiting on 12 more from a third breeder. I am sure hoping...
Appreciate everyone. I now know there is a lot of unknowns regarding this magnificent breed so we figured we would share as we learn. We have heard they are very docile and the roo Ding-Ding has proven that to be true. Comes when you call his name, very calm, lets you pick him up. Almost like...
Just an update 2 are 7 weeks old and 1 is 3 weeks old. So far the auto-sexing seems true. After 24 hours that is. The whiter ones are roos and the golden tone ones are pullets. We have a couple more hatching in 5 days from a different stock. If their colors come out to match the sex then I...

Thanks everyone, we have diligently been searching for information on auto-sexing from breeders in the US and overseas. Nobody has responded but if we find out anything we will post our findings and we will keep posting updated pictures. We will hopefully be hatching 4 or 5 more in the next...
Hi Everyone.
We have a 10 week old blue jersey giant. Doesn’t try to crow and doesn’t spar with the other 3 roos (2 also 10 weeks old and 1 13 week old) that he cohabits with. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Hi Everyone
We hatched 2 LCN’s they are 2 weeks old now. We have read that they “are” and “are not” auto-sexing. When they were hatched one was definitely whiter and one more golden but as they are getting older they seem to be looking more alike. Any guess on what sex they are would be...
