    Jersey giant & egg binding

    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...

    Australorp or Jersey Giant Rooster?

    Got this boy a while back thinking it was an Australorp but now I'm not entirely sure... Lady i got him from didnt know the breed. He is young, roughly about 6-7 months? Thoughts? Small note: the little white bits on his head was the result of eating yogurt scraps, He's all black!

    New Chicks forgot breed

    So, this is my first post. I'm new to the chicken world. Actually up until my girl Rosé( a RIR) I was terrified of chickens. Anyhoo, I just got four new chicks(supposedly pullets) from TSC and I have confidently identified three out of four, but can't confidently identify the fourth. I think she...

    blue chicks

    I have two (2 week old) blue chicks, one has a black comb, their feet are grey and their soles are pinkish-yellow, and one had white tips on her wings. They are bigger than my Dominique chicks (they are the same age). Any ideas of what they might be?

    Black Australorp, Jersey Giant, or something else?

    I ordered 15 BA from McMurry and they are now 7-8 weeks old. (haven't lost a single one!) Now while most of them have the normal blue/pinkish legs with dark scaling, I've noticed that 2 of them have extremely bright yellow legs with the same dark scaling and also have quite a bit of yellow in...

    Jersey Giant, Hen or Rooster?

    We have a Jersey Giant that’s 21 weeks old, not laying and I think it’s a rooster because of the tail feathers. My husband is pretty confident it’s a hen. Can anyone help us determine? Thanks! I don’t have pictures outside the run as I had my toddler with me when I went to snap the pictures.

    Strange JG eggs

    So my splash Jersey Giant hatched from an egg like this. What i find weird is that she lays eggs like this. Is it possible that they’re like this because she’s a cross or something? Or is this a health problem? Thanks

    Australorp?

    This is my youngest roo Johnny.. does he look like a mix of sorts, Australorp? Jersey Giant? We picked him from a bunch of mixed chicks. He is the same size as my 5 month hens, he’s around 16-17 weeks. Big boy!

    Looking to rehome Jersey Giant rooster

    Looking to rehome Jersey Giant, kind to ducks and hens, 6 months old, vaccinated for Merricks. Ordered from my pet chicken and got rooster by mistake. Will deliver to location and would like him to be a pet...not for the pot.

    JG Crosses???

    has anyone crossed Jersey Giants with another breed to get a faster-growing bird? I would like to start selling some of my own meat birds. I am looking to create my own version of the Cornish x with Jersey Giants, of course, nothing that grows as fast as the Cornish x.

    Will my chickens ever get along

    I purchased 3 Rhode Island Reds last spring and this year introduced 2 Jersey Giants. I did the slow introduction over weeks and weeks. We even built a new pen so they were all moving to a new area trying to stop the territorial ways of my Rhode Islands... It appears the Rhode Islands have...
