Best of luck Beating the AI Dave..


How fast do Jersey Giants grow? I could mix them into the next round of toads if these "shrink" I am worried about that because the pullets eggs are a lot smaller than Bertha's eggs.

I actually DO have some crossed with JG's

was it a worthwhile cross?

That does not bother me if I get a LARGE meaty chicken with a good blend or ratio of Dark to white meat.

I might have to try and find me some of them.

What size do they get too?

Gathered a couple of FFA project CX this weekend for genetic diversity. We will see how they fare through their quarantine period. Two pullets and two cockerels. All heavy. I have not weighed them yet, but I'll bet the boyz are well over 12 pounds.

I hope you get them to breed! They look good, how old are they?
