Ok Now I'm sold where can I get eggs from a breeder flock Not Hatchery?(and true JG's) I got a "JG hen " once but she was a mix. She was sweet but a BIG let down as the none laying orp I had was bigger then her. Hack of a broody. My friend has her now and she just hatched 15 eggs. I think that is what kinda put me off of them for a while. Anyone on here got any they are willing to part with. I know there is a splash roo with hatching eggs,but I 'm not drawn to the looks of them. I like big full body chickens when it came to the JG's.
I'm not trying to say anything vad about their chickens just my taste and they could also be young birds. I don't know and mean no harm.

Soaring, if you scroll back, you'll see several breeders...I sell hatching eggs but my girls aren't currently laying. It will likely be March before I see any more eggs from them. My stock is from Maria Hall, who has awesome stock, and Bobbi Porto, who also has excellent stock. GOOD LUCK - they are worth the search for good ones, for sure!

I was going to mention them, too. I can't hatch, and the shipping is too much for started birds, so I have to wait until the Crossroads show a year from now to get birds from them. Ugh!

PaintedGems - that's awesome! I'm sure you'll be very pleased with her stock - I sure am!

Soaring - look around for folks in your area here on BYC...you may be able to find a local breeder!

Just wanted to show off my new white pullet I bought at the Ohio Nationals. She came from a man in Ontario - I wish I'd had the money to get her sister. She's only six months old and is bigger than everyone else, including my other two giants! I couldn't get a good pic of her standing next to everyone else. Got a lot of good shots of all the girls today, but this was the only non-blurry Giant one.

PaintedGems~

That's great.

mame1616~ very nice hen.

I normaly do not like white birds. (to much cleaning involved)
I have looked and asked around here. The only one local is not NPIP and sold me the mix for a pure bred JG.
No one around here has them. I'm looking back looking for some of the breeders ya'll said. Hopefully I can find some.

Check out this yellow faced boy.

Wow, Bassleg, I wonder what causes that.

I can see the yellow on his feet, too, between his toes.
