Jersey Giants or Black Wyandottes?

[northwestchick]

We just got these two pullets as Black Wyandottes, about 20 weeks. They are huge. Super friendly. Are these really black Wyandottes and are they always this big?

Those look like Wyandottes because of the rose combs. A true jersey giant would have a single comb.

Oh wow they are gorgeous! They are most certainly wyandottes. Where did you get them from? If you got them from a breeder, they may be bigger because they were bred for size.

They are a healthy size!
I’ve never had a Wyandotte with anything but yellow legs. Never had a black Wyandotte though.

I know, one of them has silver legs, but there's some yellow on them, and the other are true yellow. I thought that was interesting. Yes, I got them from a true breeder so maybe they are just true to size. They dwarf my Easter Eggers, but the EE's are a little younger.

Yes, he is a breeder. I think he also gets some chicks from a local hatchery. He's pretty awesome. We call him the chicken man.

I am wondering if every once in a while the yellow can show as a recessive trait...?

I think they’re mixed breed cockerels. Can you get me clear pictures of each bird and pictures of their foot bottoms? They’re definitely males

Yes, tomorrow. They are the most submissive cockerels I’ve ever had if that’s the case. Ha ha!
