Yeah I have some 15 week olds that I am pretty impressed with but will see The JG's you got from Sandhill should be very good They claim to have Golda Millers line which I am told was one of the best. I recently learned that the only colors of JG that are APA accepted are black and white. I wonder why that is Having mostly blues that is alittle off putting but I guess we can only hope it changes as time goes by.

Have you heard of Cinda Brent? I have heard she had highest quality Giants! I would love to find some of her stock! I believe she even wrote some articles about them.

No I havent heard of her Do you know where shes from. The line I was talking about was one of the first Golda Millers line was the best in its day. She bred for a dark dark blue. Alot of the JG blue color has been washed out especially in the hens The 15 week olds I have are from her line as well and I can see some of the pullets are very very dark almost blue black. It they turn out as large as my other they will really give off some beautiful chicks. hopea hopea hopea.

Hhmmm, now I suddenly forgot where she is from. I think Kentucky or Arkansas ??? Shoot, I forgot!

I hope we all get some really great Giants going!

Me too How old are the giants you just got? Take some pics and I will do the same and post them.

 

[kathyinmo]

I think about 10 months old. I will get some new batteries for the camera, and post pictures! Yes, I want to see your pictures, too!

Now, when I post .... I want honest critiques! No sugar coating ... all honesty!

OH, that is great news! So, they are not in the SOP book .... because the most recent book is dated 2001 ... That makes sense. Thank you for that newsflash! Now, where can I find the SOP of the Splash Giant? I want to know what color the legs should be.
