I wouldn't know! LOL
I only have 3 JG, you'd have to ask somebody else!

I didn't see anymore JG hatching eggs, somebody on this thread might still be selling hatching eggs.

PM Wynette, or The Tinman .. from their sighnatures it looks like they have JG hatching eggs!

Thank you both. I have a request in to Wynette via the website. I will try the Tin Man! I am so excited! My hubby bought me a cabinet incu and is building me breeding pens. I am now on the search for the breeds I would like. JG being one, Coro. Sussex, and LF Cochins. I am interested in 2 more breeds possibly Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks and Lakenvelders. Not sure on the final 2 but its a start I guess!

They look great! I love the pictures!

Look at those nice long backs! Just like they are suppose to be .... long backs!

Both my breeders (roosters) had nice combs. How are those turning out? SOP calls for 6 points on JGs.

We're always looking for people to help make Faverolles a little less rare! They are the sweetest things I have ever seen, and the roos are so dramatic. I never really liked the bearded breeds until I had them - now I'm addicted. They are a very old heritage breed from France. PM me for more info. I'm in the same boat - I've narrowed down to JGs, Brahmas, Faverolles, and I'm thinking about another, but haven't decided yet. Good luck! - Mary in NJ
