    ISO Jersey Giants in New Jersey

    I would like to get them from a breeder rather than a hatchery if possible. Any suggestions?

    Large bump on top of head

    I have a Jersey Giant pullet with a large bump on top of her head. My other two aren’t like this. I’ve included a picture of her and another one without the bump to show the difference. Please let me know what it is. I’m thinking issue with sinus infection. I don’t know what to do.

    Jersey Giant eggs here?

    These eggs look like something a Jersey a giant might lay? We have Easters, Barred Rock, Leghorns and Sexlinks that have all been laying a while. The other chickens eggs looked nothing like these....soooo, deductively, I'm thinking these must be from the Jerseys? I'm still new...wanted to...

    Jersey Giants? Barred Rock? I'm not sure on a couple. Pullets or Roos?

    I ordered 5 straight run Black Jersey Giants from the local feed store, which ordered from Welp, I believe they said. Got them on May 21, so they're just over 4 weeks old. They all looked pretty much the same when we got them, but as they got their feathers in, one started looking much...

    Jersey Giant eggs

    So a few days ago my 6 month JG laid her first egg. As you can see it’s very cracked, and had a soft shell, but I’m pretty sure that’s normal for her first. (Or maybe she stood on it, she is pretty fat!) Here’s the second one, ithad weird spots on the top, and a weird ‘lump’ on the side. Better...

    I had my ladies out for a real deal (supervised) free range session today. They are getting so big, SO fast! I just adore them. Here is my beautiful bearded lady. Sold to us as an “Americana”. I think she is vying for the spot of head chicken! They enjoyed the shade of the cherry trees...

    Hey friends, We have two Black Jersey Giants pullets from our local feed store. They are 6 weeks old.
