Quote: Big Boy is doing great! He is truly a gentle giant. AND, just like you said, the biggest blue girl does not do well in this 108* heat. Over a week of this Arizona type weather is just too much! A few days ago she nearly went down. I brought her inside the attached garage that has an air...

Quote: Cool - thanks! I look forward to learning more about these "gentle giants" - hope the reputation is true1 I do have to say that Moose is at the bottom of the pecking order and he's in a flock of 14 chicks, some younger than him and all smaller, of course! He has the most gentle look...

Quote: Someone from my Craigslist ad is coming to view them tomorrow, so we'll see what happens. I have to work in the morning, so it will be in the afternoon. I just can't keep up with all these separate coops & runs & feeders & waterers and work full time & be mom & wife. I don't believe...

Well, after much nailbiting and soul searching I am going to have to cut down to one large fowl breed. I live in a subdivision and my black and beautiful shiny 'Big Boy' has got a massive crow. So I have posted my quad of Jersey's for sale if anyone in Missouri is interested from my last fall...

Quote: And on that note... My biggest fluffiest blue Jersey hen is having trouble with the high humidity and 85 degree weather snap. She is panting super hard. They love the cold, and don't mind rain or snow, but are hating the heat!

Quote: Here's a pic of my Jersey Giant rooster from Bobbi's eggs last fall. I had a great hatch rate- 8 of 12. I'm taking him and his 'sister' to the show this saturday. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep them though d/t he has a horrible singing voice- like a a bellowing cow...

Anyone in MO, I'm selling my blue Jersey Giant roo from my Bobbi Porto hatch, and maybe a black JG hen to go with him from the same hatch. I already e-mailed Kathy. The boys are starting to duel with each other, and they are still eating, and eating, and eating.........

Quote: Mine are about 5 months old and really quiet also. The roosters have not crowed, but the bantams the same age are screeching up a storm. I almost think they don't care to compete crowing wize. Mine are gentle but timid. They don't mind being petted while in the coop at night, but...

My Jersey's are growing up! Yes, that awkward half grown lanky thing, I am totally seeing it! One of his flockmate's feather's is stuck to his tail..... My blue boy.... They kind of run like Forrest Gump did when he had the braces on......

On the very last picture on the bottom, looks to me like a roo, and the one on top looks like it might be growing some boy tail feathers too.

Hey y'all I just posted my Jersey Giant chicks on Craigslist from my Bobbi Porto hatch. I have 3 blue and 4 black-- one of the black females is looking quite scraggly and not feathering in properly. I 'think' I have 2 blue and 1 black boy. The black is the friendliest. With my two kids, 40+...

Has anyone had any feathering issues with your Jerseys? I'm wondering if it was the feed, so I switched to Purina now that we have a TSC store. Mine are getting bigger, but still need the heat lamp, so I've got them divided now: 3 blue/splash (whatever) in one brooder box and 4 black in the...

I have to chuckle because after reading this thread, I had to wonder when I saw advertised on Craigslist some Jersey Giants from Marie Hall's stock from Ohio. Isn't it Maria from Indiana?

Quote: You're right, that is a nice looking comb. Banjo was jealous of it, hence the reason for the chomping.

Pics of my bobbi porto chicks. My favorite is the blue in the middle with the poofy head looking at the camera. It was almost too big for the egg.

Quote: I just hatched 6 of hers, and two left pipped in the incubator. I'll post pics this weekend with the final results. Teddiliza, If you plan on breeding them together, can I be on your hatching eggs/chicks list?? I could come and pick them up, no shipping involved. Dale-Ann I'm...

Why go through the trouble of selling him when you can cook him? That's the best end for mean roos.

Quote: Yes, clay soil and walnut trees are why we built above ground garden boxes. That's good to know the hawks leave the Jersey's alone. I'm not sure if I'll get them this year or wait till spring.
