if you post a picture of them and tell there age we might be able to tell!

yes they r 5 weeks wed, so pretty close! I actually have them in a dog kennel that's also wrapped in chicken wire! the top is covered so no hawks can get in. also there coop is inside the kennel so the feral cats cant get in no matter how hard they try! Did your giants have yellow feet from day...

ok so as I was doing night chores I was able to snap some pics of my "black jersey giant chicks" most of them wouldn't sit still so here is the best pics I could get!

Well the post office called me at 11:30 to let me know my chicks were there! ALL 16 of them are alive and very well peeping like mad, eating like pigs! I will post pics if I have time in the a.m.!

ok so my chicks are on there journey home, They should be at the post office tomorrow! I cant wait! I ended up hatching 24 eggs of my own, All of them are black but 1! Then my husband actually let me get 12 Cornish cross chicks yesterday !! Yup and 15 giants arriving tomorrow! I'm going to be a...

squirrels will take eggs and eat em! I have seen it with my own eyes! If you don't get rid of it others will follow in its footsteps, again another personal experience! Good luck with getting rid of them!!

Well this cat isn't afraid of my golden retriever when he comes charging at it! But yes the babies will be grown in my house till they are 8 weeks I think, depending how fast they grow,hahahaha! Its funny about your bird laying eggs off the roost cause one of my olive eggers is now dropping them...

Yes, I'm getting excited but stressed at the same time, see my neighbors cat has been prowling around all night long! I'm scared for the babies cause this cat tries to kill my grown chickens!

Wooo hoooooo! congrats on your 1st egg!!

I have successfully hatched out my birds first eggs! A lot of folks will advise you to wait until your hens are over a year old, but I hatch out a lot of eggs that come from my pullets that just start laying! Just keep in mind you may have some that do not hatch or quit early, keep us posted on...

exactly, we made the same mistake when we started with chickens! But to each his own, a lot of folks don't like eating chicken after a specific age. I like the flavor they have at an older age and the texture I like better, just my opinion!

I plan on breeding and eating them! Although it wont be for quite some time as I will get day olds march 1st! I like to butcher after 6 months old, I don't like them when they r younger than that!

O.K. I ordered my chickens yesterday!!! got my fingers crossed they will be good size, it was funny I told my husband today I ordered them and his face dropped and said "I ordered them for you last night, what are you gonna do with 30 giant chickens?" OH MY GOSH!!! He told me 20 minutes later he...

I wonder if all mt.healthy chickens are "true to size"? All the ones I have from Meyers are pretty small! Also wonder if any other hatchery has had true to size giants? I'm also gonna get hatching eggs from wynette, she has blue and splash, I will have beautiful chickens strutting there stuff in...

oh my! I don't think I'd have room for that many! We have already decided when I get them and they reach 6 months we are gonna put a lot of the birds we already have in freezer camp. Now to decide witch of my 28 birds are my least favorite,! Who knows, I could end up keeping 28 that I already...

thank you, I was thinking the same thing about paying that much $ from a breeder, but I know wynette here on BYC sells hatching eggs for decent prices! My D.H. said I can get some from mt. healthy!! I hope I have the same luck as you. I don't want to show them but I want BIG chickens that I...

rottnwarrior, where did you get yours from? he is quite tall! Also wanted to ask you if the bottom of there feet are yellow? see I got mine from meyers hatchery, I knew they wouldn't be perfect, but the bottom of there feet are white.. I don't think they are giants cause he is the same size of...

Well if you do hatch out, put me on your waiting list for babies!!

When you do get eggs are u gonna eat, hatch, or sell them?
