Thanks! I wasn't sure is she would stay on the nest. that is why I only let her keep the 1 egg. I wish now I had gave her more. LOL I was told they usually don't stay on the nest and didn't want to lose to many. But she is such a good protective mama. I was just informed I have to work...

Well, It happend! I left the 1 hen that went broody in the box with 1 egg to see if she would stay. I know JG's aren't supposed to go broody very often and didn't want to risk too many eggs. I just left her 1 egg. But I had to remove 1-3 every day! The other hens would just pop in and lay an...

Thanks! I wasn't sure.. These are my first JG's God Bless

All of my eggs hatched black chicks but they all have 1 feather with about an inch of white on each wing???? They were from a Black roo over splash hens. I hatched 31. Have you ever had that happen? ( color I mean) I am still trying to get pics. They are beautiful but i want BLUE!! I bought...

Well if that is the case I may have to get some of her eggs! My entire breeding program is going to be to increase size, egg production, and beauty of the Giants with out their health suffering! especially the Blues! I love the Blue the most!!! I would love to see a 4 foot chicken! (tall...

She is Beautiful!!! She looks (in size) just like my " Big Papa"! All of my flock is 8 months old now. He is just as much taller than all the rest as you Girl! I am trying to get a pic but he is really shy and always stays by him self. He is very hard to get a pic of with the rest of the...

nope. He is totally the same as all of the rest of his flock mates. He just misses single items by about 1/8 of an inch. I think maybe his eyes just can't focus that close. I really don't know. But he is doing great. I feed free choice from a 5 gallon bucket feeder I made. He is just as fat...

Hennypenny I have a roo the exact same way! He is just as big and healthy as all of the rest. He is also one of my sweetest roos! I don't know if it is genetic or if it's just a flaw in sight. He does great in everything except getting the single pieces of feed or treats. I always take...

I will try tonight. I'm still at work. LOL Thanks for the help. God Bless!

Thanks! I really appreciate that! But is the almost totaly black color normal for a splash? They are a beautiful Black (green sheen) except for 1/2 inch or so of 2 feathers on their wings. I am possitive of parentage.... Black roo over splash hen. Thanks, God Bless!

All of my splash are all black except for the tips of 2 feathers! They all were black roo over splash hens. Does this sound normal? I bought all black hens hoping for them to throw blue chicks. I am going to begin breeding mine in October. Right now I am allowing them to do what they want...

I processed 8 of my roo's at 8 months old. Nice size but VERY tough! Stewed they were fine but they grow so slow that by the time they are large enough to process they are tough. Roo's usually are though. I have 1 HUGE roo who is going to be my main breeder if he keeps his temperment and his...

I have ordered from B/B/S JG eggs from ebay! Most of The sellers on there are BYC members. I've had Great hatch rates and So far They are Looking GREAT! Just be sure that it says Jersey Giant! not just Giant eggs. LOL Several breeds are called giants. I could not believe some of the prices I...

Quote: I totally agree! Kathy, WOW!!! I am SO jealous!!!!! I am hoping to add Maria Hall blood in the fall! I have a huge breeding/gene program I am starting. I hope to be up to adding the Hall genes this fall or early next spring. It really depends on how the birds respond. LOL God Bless!

Well I do have a varied program. I want to use some as purely eggs, some as food, and the best ones for breeding. I want to try to improve the genetics of the Blue & Black. I actually want to try to speed up the growth rate and increase the size without losing egg pruduction or using...

4 days old. All B/B/S 4Days and 4 weeks! I am now upto 42 B/B/S JG's they are in their 1st ugly stage now. A few have almost finished the first feather set. all the rest are still comming in and look like a science experiment. LOL I love them so much! They are my first JG's and my first try...

I had some one ask me," can a Black JG breed regular hens with out crushing or hurting them?" I Responded, "Yes." But now I'm begining to wonder. I don't have a mixed flock so I want to pose the same question to you all. I would hate to be the cause of their chickens discomfort. I did inform...
