I have 3 Jersey Giants. 2 black hens, and 1 spash. One of my blacks and my splash hen are from a local breeder. The other black hen is from Meyer Hatchery. A friend of mine gave her to me. I must say. You can really tell the difference in the HS hen from the other hens. They're both bigger and...

Yes, I know that. The first chick I hatched from my Splash girl, Lizzy, was a Splash mix with a pea comb. The chick I hatched out last night has a single comb, with the correct leg color etc.

The chick is in the recovery 'bator drying off still with a couple of other chicks. When he fluffs out I will post pictures.
I'm so inlove with this little guy ( or girl).

I didn't think about that! I hatched out a Splash JG cockerel a couple months ago with a pea comb. I was hoping the chick that hatched wouldn't be a mix, and yeah! It isn't!

I hatched out a Blue Jersey Giant chick! It is so cute and fat! It already has wattles! This isn't a good sign!!
I'm surprised it's blue, as I have NO blue JGs? The hen that layed it was a Splash?? I have no idea who the father is. My JG's run with my mixed flock. I can't wait to see how this...

THANKS Aspen! I was hoping the splash was a pullet too! I have really fallen for these birds.
You're welcome 'Hun.
My JGs are sweet chickens. I have a Splash hen, Elizabeth (but Lizzy for short), I hatched one of her eggs and it turned out to be a Splash JG mix rooster. Sweetest...
I lost my Splash JG rooster, and my hopes of having JG hatching eggs crashed. I still have two Black JG hens and a Splash hen. I just don't have a rooster. Ugh, that is the 2nd JG rooster I bought in a year that died!

Could be. I found my JG roo dead under the roost and my OE roo dead in the dust bath bucket.
Sorry to hear about that. My jersey giant also died, although that was a long time ago. Here she is...
So frustraited right now! This morning I found my Splash JG rooster dead in the coop. Have no clue what happened to him. *Sighs* It might be awhile'fore I get another one for the JG ladies.
Yesterday I hatched out a Splash JG chick that had a pea comb! Should be an interesting mix. I named the cute thing Dizzy, her mother's name is Lizzy so...
