Hi,
I do have a cockerel, possibly 8 or 9 weeks old now that was rescued in the mid of April and I thought I would ask the community help me guess or tell what kind of a breed he is. He is out growing every chicks in the my young flock. I am thinking between three different breeds, Jersey...
I have tried to get Jersey Giants twice in the last few months and have been bumped both times just days before pickup.
The only breeders I have seen are way down south in England, so I have been relying on Gumtree and sheer luck.
I would love to have a few of those big beautiful girls and...
Good morning. I purchased two jersey giants from a straight run at TS. I did my best to sex them out and thought I picked pullets. Recently one has been sprouting more flamboyant tail feathers, and I *think* I heard crow attempts this morning for the first time. They are 12 weeks old, and I feel...
These babies are seven weeks old today! I've never had JGs before. Very small, flesh/black colored combs and no wattle growth but these upright tail feathers have me suspicious. Are these pullets or roos?
Thanks for your help!
I’m from the island of Puerto Rico. I can say I’m pretty new to my own BYC. I got introduced to chickens thanks to neighbors and a special rooster caught my eyes. He was a very big barred mix that would pull out everything I planted as soon as I turned my back.
I started much later when a chick...
Does anyone have Jersey Giants? I am trying to decide if I would want Australorps or Jersey Giants. I have a lot of tick and bug infested land so I want a chicken that will help purge the bug population. Free ranging is the primary goal, at least during the day, so they need to forage pretty...
I have 5 chickens. A black Jersey giant hen, a bantam rooster. I wish someone could tell me exactly what kind of bantam rooster he is. I also hatched out an incubator some white silkies. I think 1 rooster and 2 hens. One of the hens look like a rooster. But not as much as the other rooster and...
I have two Jersey Giant Roosters in Nashville TN that I need to rehome! They're probably the most docile birds I've ever known and have beautiful plumage....I really wish we could keep them but city ordinance states we cannot have roosters
Hi! I have a bit of a conundrum.
You see, back in early May I purchased 8 day old chicks. 6 were supposed to be straight run Jersey Giants and 2 were supposed to be Mystic Marans hens. I could not tell them apart, but figured once they'd grown it would be easier to tell.
The trouble is, now...
Hello! I’m a new chicken mom and I would love some help identifying genders on my chicks. Can anyone tell what these 4 are? They are almost 8 weeks old. Any information and shared knowledge is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
They were seen wandering a nearby neighborhood for at least a week before someone contacted us knowing we’re chicken people…that was 1 month ago.
My best guess (googling) is Jersey Giant based on their black legs and yellow-bottomed feet.
What are your thoughts on breed, age, and gender? Thank...
I bought these cuties and was told one was a jersey giant, and the others maybe EE and BYM. I’m newer to chickens, actually wondering if you could help Id who is what and then potentially let me the the potential breeds of the x’s? One more thing lol… if anyone knows approx age that would be...
Can a Jersey Giant hatch bantam eggs or will they crush them because the eggs are too small? If anyone has tried it before, how many bantam eggs do you think a Jersey Giant could hatch if possible at all?
Take 2!
I had posted a thread a month or so ago asking for help sexing my chooks; at the time they were about 4wks old. They have just hit the 8-9wk mark and I'd like to see what y'all think. Are they all girls? Or do I have a bunch of roos on my hands?
(I reeeeeally hope not!😅) So here we go!
EDIT: better pictures added
Hi everyone, I'm a first time chick owner so I need some help with ID. I bought australorp pullets from TSC when they were about 2 or 3 days old.
They're now 3 weeks old and one girl is slightly larger with a much more yellow beak and larger comb than the others. I...
Hello everyone! I need some help sexing or just general guessing as the the genders of my little, 5wk old flock. The chooks in question are:
2 Lavender Orpingtons,
2 Jersey Giants
& 3 Easter Eggers.
The feed store we brought them home from said they were likely females (they were only 3days...
