This auction is for 10+ Blue/Black/Splash Jersey Giant straight run, day old chicks. These are from Maria Hall and Jack McCurdy bloodlines. These chicks will hatch on Monday, June 16, 2014 and will ship Express Mail on the same day for a flat rate of $50.00 unless you elect for pick-up. Pick-ups must be made within one (1) week of hatch date. If you order other chicks from us on the same date, there will only be the one flat rate of $50.00 for all chicks ordered, no limit. Chick orders over $200, prior to shipping charges, will receive free shipping. Check out chicks available at our website or other listed auctions here to make a great deal with combined shipping. We do reserve the right to suspend your ship date for our next hatch date which is set for Monday, June 30, 2014 in the instance of any unforeseen circumstances.
Jersey Giants are generally considered a dual purpose bird, though they are probably known more as a meat bird, with the average weight of roosters being 13 pounds and the hens 11 pounds. They are in fact the largest purebred chicken, however due to their slow growth rate, they are not raised as broilers in the meat industry. They actually lay well for a large breed chicken, laying an average of 180 large brown eggs annually and are persistent layers even in cold weather. The Jersey Giant originated in New Jersey in the United States in the late 19th century. The Black Jersey Giants were accepted by the American Poultry Association (APA) in 1922. White Jersey Giants came later in 1947 and now the APA has accepted the new color variation of Blue Jersey Giants, having done so in 2002. This variation has also resulted in the color Splash. Their shanks and toes are black except for yellow skin showing on the bottoms of the feet. They are a very friendly chicken and make good pets as the roosters rarely exhibit aggressive behavior.
We are NPIP Certified and test our flocks twice per year for both Avian Influenza and Pullorum. All chicks are vaccinated for Marek's prior to leaving our farm. We also offer a guarantee on our chicks, though shipping charges are nonrefundable. Please see our website at www.taylorhobbyfarms.com for more details and testimonials or pm us with questions.
This auction will end Saturday, June 14th, at 9:00 p.m. EST. Please bid by reply to this post. Bidding starts at $40.00, shipping charges of $50.00 (Express Mail) not to be included in the bid price. We only ship to the Continental 48 States. Paypal payment must be made within twenty-four hours of the close of auction by payment to [email protected] or via credit card payment over the phone. Thanks for looking!
