Quote: I was looking at your pics (mostly at the saddle feathers and neck feathers) and it looks like the feathers are rounded to me, indicating a hen. I would also like to point out a few things I have noticed with hatchery stock/feedstore Jersey Giants- they often have white tips on the...

Here are some pics of my Jersey Roo's up for your critique... Tell me what ya think of these guys. You may not be able to tell, but the leg color is right on them and they do have yellow on the bottoms of their feet. They are about 11 months old now. I didnt hatch these particular guys, but I...

Its been a while since I've posted here, but I wanted to share some news with everyone- I have a BROODY black Jersey Giant!! She went broody about new years eve and has stuck like glue to her nest since! She has 13 eggs under her and I bet she could fit more, but I decided to keep it at 13 just...

Quote: Very nice looking guy! He has made me curious though. Do white jerseys have smaller combs and wattles then the blacks? I only ask because I have 2 BJG who are about the same age, maaaaaybe a week or 2 older, but they have HUGE combs and wattles. Is it an individual thing, or is it a...

Beautiful juvies, Bassleg!! I HAVE to say, Kathys JG's are huge and impressive, arent they? I LOVE mine and they are just 3 weeks old! Quick question about newly laying JG's- Do 'your' newly laying JG pullets start with laying small eggs, then work up to the bigger eggs? Or do they start off...

Thanks Kathy! We are all excited about these babies! We have incubated before, but this was our most successful hatch out of shipped eggs. I think it helps to have good eggs that were packaged well, and came from excellent stock. Although I do think I need t upgrade to a better incubator since...

Pics of my Jersey Giant chicks I hatched outta Kathyinmo's eggs. And no, you arent seeing things, there are 3 baby quail in there that my son hatched at the same time as these chicks! They are all doing so well and we are in chickie heaven around here! 10 little chicks, I wish they...

Oooo, she's pretty Kathy! I love the long legs on JG's as they are growing! I have pics coming soon of my hatch outta your eggs, hoping to get them up tomorrow evening sometime.

I have a question regarding JG roos- I have decided to pretty much have all JG's, except for about 5 or 6 standard layers. I plan on having 2 or maybe 3 JG roo's (if they can get along) only, no other breed of roo. Will the JG roo's crush my standard layers if they try to mate them? All the...

Tinman- PLEASE, OH, PLEEEEEEEASE put me on your list for eggs when they start comin!! I wouldnt mind some of that yellow!! Are any of your Jerseys blue, by any chance?

WHOA!!! Those ARE yellow as a street sign, Tinman!! They're electric yellow!! Do your other Jerseys have that coloring on the feet? I didnt know they got THAT yellow! Sheesh, makes me think I'm going to have to be like the Red Queen, only my song will be "We're painting the feetsies yellow..."...

Quote: Thanks for the guess Tinman!! I hope youre right!! Her feet are pretty yellow, I took the pics in evening light and her feet were pretty dirty. I was just showing size more than color. I am just amazed at the size of the feet on that bird for its age, if I listen closely, I can hear...

Here are a few pics of one of my 4 month old Jersey Giants. Its supposed to be pure, and a Blue. Any ideas as to Hen or Roo? Hasnt crowed or layed yet, so IDK. Anyone know whats up with the fluffy tail feathers? Never seen it before. Hen or roo?? Face on, 4 months old (approx) Weird...

Hey all!! Finally wne t and took a few new pics of my B/B/S Jersey chicks! They hatched the 2 days following mothers day in May, so they are about 7-8 weeks old now. I would love to hear what you guys think! I have 2 more, but they are black, and didnt have time to get any more pics. What...

Quote: looks to me like 4 blues, maybe 2 blacks from the top but all look blue from profiles Thanks for your input, but it left me wondering... What do you look for when you say 'from profiles'? Do blues have certain facial color/characteristics that I can look for? I was wondering if its a...

Kathyinmo- Awww, I'm sorry to hear your feeling overwhelmed, I sure know how you feel. It is so easy to just get too many projects going and then have 'life' get in the way. I'm glad to hear you are keeping your Jersey project going tho. I am currently working on sending you an order for eggs...

I have a new chick!!! YAY!! I bought B/B/S Jersey eggs from Bobbi Porto a few weeks ago, and 8 made it to lockdown. They went in the bator on the evening of May 1st, and today one baby hatched! But- I MISSED IT!!! I went out with the family to distract myself from the whole watching the...

Quote: Thanks for the pics, Sugar Sand Farm. I think your right about him being Australorp. And other than him being *very* fertile, and being great with us and his ladies, I think I'm gonna let him go in favor of a new roo who I know is Jersey. I wouldnt mind to keep him if I was doing...

Quote: Historically, the Jersey Giant was a cross of Black Javas, Black Langshans, and Dark Brahma. I can see the Java face, Jersey comb and correct number of points, but they are not evenly separated (it doesn't mean they wount grow out with maturity), but his blade is not distinguished...

Here is my current roo. I'm not sold on him being Jersy Giant, only because when I got him, his feet were yellow on the bottoms, but now they are grayish, almost pink, but not really. He has the green sheen, but it has purple sheen too. He's fairly young, no spurs yet, just bumps. He's a nice...
