I'm setting some to hatch in April. It will be the first hatch for me. I have black and white JG's. I live in Central California. PM me if your interested.
I'm very interested in this as well. I have 6 JG's: 2 Black cockerels, 2 black pullets and 2 white pullets. All are 8 months old. I have been asked by several BYCers to hatch a few, so I'm going to set my first JG clutch in April. Also, prior to that, in two weeks my daughter is going to enter...
Just wanted to post a pic of our Black cockerel Thor:
At the end of the month I'm going to set our first clutch of JG eggs from Thor, his brother Goliath and their girls (two black hens and two white).
We're very eggcited. I'll let you all know how it goes.
Just wanted to post a pic of my daughter holding one of our 6 month old Black JG's (Thor) and our 9 month old Maran (Barney).
I'll try to post more pics of our other JG's. We have 2 black cockrels, 2 black pullets and 2 white pullets. I would love to get a few blue JG's in the future.
Feathers4fun...I would love love love to come see you at the show in January. Some Blue or Splash would be a wonderful addition to my flock. To be honest, since my current JG's are hatchery birds, I really want to see and appreciate some that meet the SOP. Thanks again. Can't wait. What dates...
Franca, I'm in Central California. I can't locate a JG breeder in my state. Well...I actually did locate one close to me...but he's on the Megan's law website...I hope he stops breathing soon
Totalcolour, thank you so much I really appreciate your input. I'm also trying to find some splash or blues in my state, but having no luck. Can I show those colors, or would they be purely for our own enjoyment?
Also, my daughters have joined 4H this year. They would like to show our JG''s. Do you think we could show our current hatchery JG's or should we spend the money to get SOP JG's?
Since you're all sharing, I thought I would go out on a limb and show you my 16 week old JG's. I have 5 blacks and 2 whites. These are only my second flock of chickens. I'm really enjoying them. I do have a question...one of my white JG's has several black feathers. Could I eventually, through...
I've been reading this thread for a couple of months. I currently have 6 week old JG's from Cackle Hatchery: 4 black pullets, 2 white pullets and 1 black Roo. I hope to raise them for eggs and meat as well as hatch some of my own to perpetuate the pure line of the breed. I'm new to this whole...
