Jersey Giants from MPC?? Turkens??

I got 3 from them...BJG's....I have one that's kinda large but they really aren't THAT big. Very friendly nice girls though

 

We bought JG's last summer from MPC and we thought they would grow huge as expected... well 11 months later and they are very close in size to our 11 mo old wyndotts. BUY from a breeder. We hatched out JG's from eggs bought from a breeder, and at 13 weeks old they are the same size as the 11 mo old MPC jerseys. We also have some 13 month old blue Jerseys that are alot bigger and broader then our hatchery birds.

 

We never really noticed until these pullets joined our flock.. The hatchery JG's.....we just thought well maybe they grow slower then the blues. Its very noticeable that the hatchery JG's are going to be passed size wise in about a week or two by the breeder JG's

 

I got some Naked Necks(Turkens) that the guy I bought them from said they came from Mc Murray. I know that isnt the hatchery you are talking about, but I love them. They are my twins cause they look just alike. They were the girst to lay and lay very well and large brown eggs. I have read they are immune to most chicken diseases too. here is a pic of one of mine.

 

I have a black GJ rooster. I din't get him from MPC but I was thinking about getting some hens from there because I only have one. My JG is HUGE! He is almost the size of a turkey. Everyone that sees him says that he is the biggest chicken they have ever seen. He is a sweet heart too. Very gentle and follows me everywhere. I'm glad you posted this, now I am thinking twice about JGs from MPC. I wanted to get more from the breeder I got him from, but he lives in another town and I can never reach him. I have been looking for hens for two months now!

 

This is an older picture, but here are my two girls from MPC. One is a black tailed red and the other is wheaten. Very nice birds and I am totally in love with them. (They are both sitting on my lap in this picture)
