jersey giant

  1. Helanaii

    So I made some mistakes. Oh well!

    Let’s see… Many years ago, a fat and happy little Cochin laid on some eggs… and kicked one out so I had to finish incubating it for her. Then, to my luck- I had to raise that chick by hand. Literally. This chick slept in a tiny box I could put my hand in so he could sleep with me safely. Never...

    Egg with no shell at all?

    Hey all! With the colder weather approaching, a couple of my girls are going through some pretty gnarly molting. One of my Easter eggers hasn’t been laying for the last couple weeks(I know this because she is the only one out of 16 chickens who lays very light brown eggs) due to her molt. Two...

    Blue or Splash Jersey Giant Roos?

    Hello BYC Fam! :woot:frow Anyone have pics of their Blue or Splash jersey giant roosters? I have a pair I got from the hatchery. They are supposed to both be blue, but I am thinking my male must be splash, because he is a much lighter blue color than the female (who is a very dark, almost black...

    Nesting Box With Storage

    I'm so happy about the beautiful nesting box my husband built for me. He took my drawing and ideas and created just what I wanted. The bottom 2 boxes are 24" w x 18" h x 18"d for my Jersey Giants. The top 3 are 16" w x 18" h x 12" deep for everyone else. I painted it 2 colors. A darker gray...

    Can this pullet be a Jersey Giant?

    I have three Jersey Giant pullets, 4.5 months old. One of them has a darker face and comb than the other two. The other two have lighter faces and more red combs. Can a Jersey Giant have these features? She was also a lot smaller than the others but seems to have caught up. I confirmed...

    Jersey giant

    We lost our slw roo to foxes (along with most of our hens). This left us with a 10 month old jersey giant roo (he was going for the dinner table). He has a red head and shoulders. Is this unusual? Is he worth breeding? Size comparison: partridge rock hen is same age, and the pic with the stairs...

    Chicks first night in coop

    I have some new chicks that are about five and a half weeks old. They’ve been staying in my room with me since I got them, but what I had them in was getting a bit too small for them. I put them in the run tonight with the big girls in a dog crate. I’m going to introduce them using the playpen...

    Jersey Giant???

    I am actively looking for a jersey giant rooster. These are the photos of one for sale. I am not sure if it’s a giant or an australorp. The person said they purchased them from Meyer hatchery. Maybe someone can help me out please. Thank you.

    Hi from North Carolina!

    Hi y'all! The name is Katie. I have been raising chickens for two years now and have loved EVERY second of it. What started as an original flock of 5 laying hens I found on Craigslist turned to a flock of 17 in less than my first week. :D It's safe to say I fell in love with them. My husband and...

    Jersey Giant

    I have a 2 week old Black Jersey Giant, and their comb kinda looks suspicious. I know you won't be able you tell the gender this young and I'm not asking for it yet, but I'll post more pictures as they grow up. Their name is Emo and my other BJG is Missy. I just wanted to know if you guys also...

    Black and White Jersey Giant

    So I have 1 Black Jersey Giant Roo and 8 hens. I have had them for about 2 years and got a few chicks from them but never one like this one. He’s 7 months old now and he’s black and white. I thought it was so strange because all of mine are fully black and any chicks before him had white when...

    Laced Jersey Giant

    Hello all :) A neighbor gave me a batch of jersey giant hatching eggs, and I ended up with one pullet (predators took the rest, long story short), and she has very interesting coloring. My neighbor told me that laced or splash was possible, but lace is super rare. I've tried googling 'laced...
