After seeing a few posts about JG and BA's, I checked my Chickies feet. Her feet were pinkish gray. I ordered her from Ideal. She sure isn't any bigger than the leghorn I got. (got them as day olds about 5 weeks ago) What do I do? Should I contact Ideal and tell them the feet of my JG look like BA? Seems like by now it might be too late.
 
With hatchery JG's and BA's you can't tell the difference by foot color. It's a good way to tell the difference between breeder quality birds, but not hatchery.

Your JG chick won't be big for a while. They are slow to mature. By 16 weeks, she should be bigger than a leghorn, but she won't be giant sized for at least a year.

Look at feathersite about Jersey Giants.
