There are some very nice, large JG's on exhibition with my birds. When I go pick mine up this weekend, I will try to remember to take a few pics for you.

After seeing this comment I went outside to check my 3 month old ROO and Hen for yellow on the bottoms of their feet and I do not see any yellow.
Curious as to what the yellow on the bottoms of the feet mean?
Pure bred?
I will not post pics of our pair since the OP wants adult pics.

Are the birds you have white or are they black?

I have a question......when do they "out grow" other breeds of chickens? I bought what are supposed to be JG pullets. I was thinking they would be some what larger than my other chicks but they were not. I have them in with some turken pullets and so far they are both about the same size. I'm wondering if I got something else instead of what I ordered or if the JGs will eventually keep growing whent he turkens stop.

Any one have some ideas? Advice?

Here's my JG roo at 6.5 mos. Not full-grown, but definitely not a chick! That is a full-grown, 2-yr-old BR hen next to him (and she's no more than a foot or foot-and-a-half away from him).

ETA: I'd get a couple pics of the hens, but DH has the camera today.

Did he start out a similar size to the other breeds?

JG's aren't considered grown till closer to two years of age. Hatchery birds do not seem to get as large as Show stock. I have a roo that came from MM hatchery and is still the size of my large cochin roos, but my Show Stock JG is big............

Yea, for the most part. The JGs were a little bit bigger by 4-6 wks, but it wasn't until he was 10-12 weeks old that you could really see his size.

This is him at 10 weeks old. The other two black ones are JG hens (now about 9-10 lbs each), the white one is a Delaware roo and the black and white one is a Java roo....all the same age. The hens are now bigger than our salmon Faverolle roo and Andre, the JG roo, towers over everyone!
