I have a Jersey Giant rooster with my 3 standard and 2 bantam hens. He is the sweetest guy. Super nice to the girls, to my kids and to me. We love Duke!! Plus he's a great protector! We haven't lost a chicken to a hawk since we got him. He is a diligent protector, always keeping his eye on the sky and giving the girls time to hide if he sees something suspicious.

HI heybarb,
I have five Jersey Giants, At what age did you rooster start looking like a rooster ? Mine are about 13 weeks old now and they just look like pullet's to me. But this is my first batch of chickens. So this is all new to me. I do have one that run's over to check on everything and sometimes raise's it 's feather around it's neck at a couple of other chicken breeds that I have.
Any suggestion's would be appreciated.
Thanks

Mine had just a couple of tips that were white when they were younger and now they are gone. They are all black. With the most beautiful sheen to their feather's. Now more than before their feather's shine so pretty, my husband made mention of it today. I am thinking it is the fermented feed I have been feeding them. It has really made a difference in the way they look.
It is also saving me money on feed. and the fact that I am letting them out to forage now.
Pretty chicks by the way . they will be beautiful chickens.

Unfortunately, I can't answer your question because we bought him off Craigslist as a rooster. They said he was about a year old, but I guessed (based on the size of his spurs) that he was probably a little bit older - like 15 months or so. That makes him about a year and a half old now. Sorry, I can't be more help. I have a cochin rooster that started showing signs of waddles and a red comb at 2 months old...he definitely looked different than the girls at that age, but I really don't know how that compares to Jersey Giants.
