Have had JG’s for years. I got these JG chicks from Hoover hatchery to refresh my flock…..this is the first I’ve ever seen with blue eyes. All mine have always had brown. Even my blue and splash JG’s have brown eyes.
Anyone ever seen this before?
I am new here and new to chickens. Exactly one week New. Lol. We have 4 in total. Black Jersey Giant- no clue of age
Cochin also no clue of age but the leg feathers are coming in.
2 Golden Laced Wyandottes hatched 7/24
Questions:
Any guesses as to the age of the Jersey out Cochin?
Do any of...
Hello all! I have a bit of an issue. Obviously, all flocks have a pecking order, and in mine the head chook is my BSL, Pinguino. She usually picks on Brigid, our biggest chicken (literally, and figuratively) who is supposed to be a Jersey Giant. Well, I've noticed a few bloody combs in the last...
Hi all,
I ended up with 4 roosters from the Lavender Orpington bin at TSC and one of them is just such a sweet boy I'm thinking of keeping him. I have a mixed flock and I'm curious if anyone has any experience with crossing a LO rooster with any of the following:
- white cochin
- black cochin...
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...
