Like what? I can't get mine to jump through hoops. I DO make clucking noises? Corner of mouth noise? Like people make for horses? Wife calls me a idiot, but they do come runnin to investigate, kinda mimic the noise a rooster makes telling his girls he found a worm....don't even need a treat, they come.

Mine are slowly getting bigger, but you'd think they'd be fully grown by a year old. I honestly don't think they're going to get a big as my Chantecler and Buckeye hens.

I take chickweed to my chickens so I can get in my pens.

Giants take a long time to grow, over a year I hear to fill out, they grow their massive frame first . That does not mean they are normal size or small until they are old. Mine are just eight months, they have been HUGE for months now, twice the size of my Sussex, BUT, only weigh a pound more, big bones don't weigh as much as muscle I guess, pullets and cockerels, haven't weighed and compared in the last couple months, they might be putting on meat now? I've always heard hatcheries do not have good representatives of the breed. Yours should be huge compared to chants and buckeye's.

edit, you can see in my profile pic, white giant is way bigger than the red sussex, got them july 2, pic taken nov 12, four and a half months? sussex was about as big as any RIR I ever had fully matured at the time and the giant is definitely way bigger. And they say the whites are usually a pound or so smaller than the blacks.
