I made a disappointing discovery on my white Giant chicks. They have yellow on their legs, which is a disqualification. So we won't be breeding those. I sent some pictures to my mentor of the black ones fearing the worst, but she thinks they look good a their (very) young age. Still too early to make decisions on breeding stock, but I feel a little reassured on the black Giants if the white ones are culls.

That truly sucks. Atleast the black ones may be good breeding stock.

We had a very nice looking BJG rooster. Very large too.

Next to full grown GLW

There is a full grown SLW behind him in this pic. The coop is approx 24” elevated and his back is almost as tall as that. He had the nice spreading tail indicated in the APA book of standards.

Such a pretty boy. How was he in temparement? Was he a pet? That is a very big boy. How much did he weigh? Hope you dont mind these questions, the only Jersey Giant cockeral I have ever seen is a jerk lol.

He was the head of the flock. He was great to my kid, but did not like me. So, I’d have to keep my eye on him. Maybe it was the laces on my boots - my kid had slip on ones, whereas the laces on mine were long and would move around as I walked. But, nice to his girls. He did not crow very much, which was nice.

We had to treat him for a breast blister and weighed him at 11 months old - I recall he was maybe 11 lbs already. But, we didn’t weigh him later, so I’m not sure how much he weighed fully grown.

Size reference at 1 year, 1 month vs geese at 5 months. I should get weights.
