Hi everyone, I'm looking to purchase 2-3 pullets to join my flock. I need a couple more chickens for the winter and my current flock is around 12 weeks old. I am looking for Buff Orpington, Speckled Sussex, Jersey Giant, or Wyandotte, but I'm not too picky as long as the breed will be friendly...
Hello! I'm new to BYC. I thought I would share some pictures of my four hybrid chicks that are about 5.5 weeks old, so you can enjoy guessing their genders and breeds with me. Parents are all pure breeds, and chicks are hybrids.
Chick 1:
Breed: Blue Andalusian and Ameraucana (only chick I know...
I have a Jersey Giant chick that is 4.5 weeks old. Is it normal for them to look like this at this age? Its my first J.G. It looks like a Roo but maybe its just the breed?
Friendly, hand raised cockerels ready to mingle with your girls. 7 altogether (bum luck with a straight run) 3 gold laced wyandottes, 3 black jersey giants (especially friendly!!) one black australorp. Purchased from TSC (Hoover hatchery) 5/10 at 5days old.
Glad to meet within the Buffalo, NY...
Hi everyone. I got my first chicks on April 4th 2020. I was told I was getting 2 female Buff Orpingtons, 5 female Black Australorps and one male Black Australorp. This was all true except I believe one of my female Black Australorps is actually a male Jersey Giant!! Surprise!! I have 2 males. 😬...
Hello everyone! So I bought 8 chicks a little over a month ago, and one of them, I was told, was a Black Jersey Giant. Right off the bat, it didn’t really look like one, and I was wondering if it was an Americauna. At this point, I’m truly not sure, but I definitely don’t think it’s a Jersey...
If this isn’t allowed here, feel free to remove and such, I’m not really sure where to post this.
I have some barnyard mixes that I’d like to sell! They are 4 days old. Straight run. Barred Rock / Jersey Giant mixes. We also have two 5 - 6 week young friendly roosters available as well. Pick up...
Hey so I had another post about 2 of my chickens to figure out thier breed turns out they roosters so now I want to double check that my Jersey gaint is in fact a female and well a Jersey giant
Hi all! I am new to raising chicks and am hoping for some advice. We have a flock of 19 lovely ladies; americanas, speckled Sussex, New Hampshire’s, barred rocks, and jersey giants. All chicks are growing steadily except one. We have a tiny jersey giant that’s a third of the size of the others...
I have a chick that is a cross between a black bantam silkie (hen) and a white JG (Roo) I know crazy right. She got out and I couldn't catch her for 3 days so she was with the big chickens. I collected her eggs from the yard and thought I'd try to hatch them. And sure enough she had been bred...
i have 6 chicks that were sold to me as jersey giants. i looked up this guide https://meyerhatchery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009871752-Day-Old-Chick-Identification and two of them have the same spots as black orpingtons. all six have similar legs as well with black legs & yellow toes...
I’ve heard that, for example, Dorkings and Bresse have fine meat, while Cornish and Jersey Giants have coarse meat. I have only eaten store bought chicken and self-slaughtered Buff Orpingtons. Can someone explain the texture (and if applicable the taste) differences between Coarse and fine meat...
This is a jersey Giant chick right?? I got 6 jg female chicks from rural king and I have gotten chicks there before. They are usually really good at separating the chick breeds. But the last time I went there my dad got two Dark Brahmas and he ended up with two Dominique chicks. But they had all...
On March 16th, after much anticipation and near-obsession, 9 black Jersey Giant chicks will hatch and be shipped to me. This is my first flock. For a year, I’ve been researching, plotting, planning, and acclimating my husband to the idea… and it’s all about to happen. Chicken stewards (chicken...
We just lost a 8 month old jersey giant hen 🙁 she was egg bound and didn’t make it. As I was trying to help her, I noticed that her vent was abnormally small. Smaller than what our bantam silkie has! It was actually hard to even find under her feathers. I’ve never seen anything like it and it is...
About a week ago I ordered some baby Jersey Giant chicks (females) which are expected to ship on Wednesday! Im usually pretty good with names but right now im stumped! Any ideas would be appreciated.
