Well I’ve had these guys since Apiril 4th and I know for sure I’ve got once rooster because he’s started crowing at 5:30
I love all these little fluffs by I am also coming to accept I’m going to have to trim down soon and sell off a few because my yard is way too small!
But I don’t have many...
Help! I have three (I hope) ladies around 2 months old that I'm questioning.
The seller said the white one is a leghorn, but she is enormous and has grown much faster than the other two- her legs are quite large. Super docile and sweet in temperament. She has the reddest and largest waddle/comb...
I have 10 Easter Eggers, 1 barred rock, and 3 jersey giants. This is my first and probably last go at raising chicks. It has been a labor of love but I don’t think I can do this again. I tried to take some good shots of them to see if anyone can help me pick out what sex they are! Thanks so much!
I have quite a few cockerels available after my first spring hatch. I'm in LaGrange, GA (about an hour south of Atlanta- near GA/AL border.
I have the following that are 6-7 weeks old right now.
- Jersey Giant (1 black, 1 splash) $10 each
- Swedish Flower Hen (1 available) $10 each

What do you guys think about new hampshire chickens? When I first started researching about chickens (to get ones myself) I've never heard of them. After the research I did for my blog, these girls are amazing! I put them second on my list. Great learning experience! Still happy with my choice...
Hi all,
I have been searching & stalking the threads just to read all I can about Black Jersey Giants. I am intrigued by them!
We have 2 7 week old BJG pullets who are so sweet and funny, along with 2 ISA, and 3 EE.
I was just hoping anyone who has or has had BJGs can just share their...
Blue is my three-week-old Jersey Giant silkie cross. The mother is a purebred almost 10 lb Jersey Giant. The father is most likely my white purebred silkie rooster. Trying to figure out if blue is a potential rooster or hen. I already have two small roosters and a giant silkie rooster may not...
Well, I have 3 Jersey Giants. One male, and SUPPOSEDLY 2 hens. They are over a year old.
I noticed the one hen had saddle feathers, it still sounds like a hen, and has NO spurs unlike the obvious male. The comb is small and pink. It NEVER crows, fights, or mounts anyone. It happily follows the...
Hi there,
In the post this morning I received my 6 Jersey Giant eggs. I'm using a Brinscall mini advance incubator (but it's an old ish one not one of the new ones) I'm going to let the eggs sit until I get home from work tomorrow at about four pm. Is there anything I need to check on the eggs...
Ostrich the big black jersey giant is the mother, but who is the father? Help me figure it out. See pics of those involved. "Blue" is the huge 2week old chick with 5 toes,feather feet and soft (softer/finer than usual for a jersey giant) feathering.
Blue is next to teeny who hatched only 1 day...
Hi all! About a year and a half ago I found a rooster on the side of the road, I live in Hawaii so it is extremely common but he seemed different. He was a sad little thing scratching the asphalt looking for food, I pulled over and he let me pick him up and that was that. Took him home to my...
I love my white silkie rooster and my big Jersey Giant hen. I believe i have successfully bred the two! (I also have a smooth Sizzle silkie rooster who is in the mix). I'm still trying to figure out who the father is. Has anyone here bred silkies and Jersey giants? This is my first chick at...
Hello BYC Family!
I've got a pretty broad random question for you all. So I'm looking at raising a flock (from scratch) my last flock were sadly killed by coyotes while being watched by my parents while I was traveling for work :hit:hit...so im looking at starting a mixed flock this time...
I'm not looking for A++ show quality, but if anyone has some affordably priced quality Jersey Giant hatching eggs I would be very interested in hearing your prices. I'm looking to start the foundations for a self-sustained meat and egg flock and want better quality that hatchery birds.
I really...
"Teacup" is a gentle giant that I can no longer keep. He's just over one year old. Despite his size, weirdly, he always defers to other roosters. Hand raised, completely non-aggressive, yet very protective of the flock from predators. Size makes him pretty "hawkproof".
Littleton MA, but...
Another newbie here I live in Washington state. I have my first flock of (hopefully) 7 hens that were hatched around mid April. (Funny enough, I took the dive into raising chickens cause I was experiencing some empty nest syndrome) They're all still freeloaders. One Jersey Giant, three...
Im looking for 5 certified apa breeding partners. im going to try to start my own officially reconized chicken breed. Okay here's some info about what I want to do, 1. I want do a three way cross of New Hampshire red, black Jersey giant, and barred rock. And I'm aiming for a good dual purpose...
Hello everyone! I unfortunately have to re-home more chickens (I feel like that's all I've been doing these days :hit). These chicks weren't planned, and as a result, I'm having some issues with them. They aren't mixing well with my very young chicks. They're also creating lot of dust, which is...
