I have 2 Black JG hens and 1 Splash JG hen. My Blue JG roo got killed by a coyote this summer and I don't have a JG roo to go w/ my 3 JG hens. I know a breeder that has: Black/Blue/Splash JG's ...but which color should the JG roo be??
Thanks~

We've had cocks hit 15 pounds at around three years of age when we had Giants back years ago, but the hens were usually around 8 pounds tops.
The hatchery birds we have now are pretty, but won't hit 10 pounds if they lived to be 100 and I feed them ice cream and chocolate cake every day.
Sooo now you know why I need better stock.
