Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion

[Southerngirl]

Our Giants are so gentle and tame our boys just pick up the roos and carry them around. They are HUGE when grown. I have the Black Jerseys(hens and roos) and only a few white giant hens ( more to come in the spring). Loud deep crows from the roos too. I ordered all of mine from Cackle hatchery and have been very pleased with them. They are a wonderful breed and really are not truly full grown until they are almost 2 years old. The first year they grow their frame and then start to build their "bulk". Enjoy!

Here is a pic on one of my Black Giant Roos SLADE .

He's a beautiful bird. What size eggs do you get from the giant hens.

 

[Southerngirl]

The egg sizes range from medium to Large. They are really beautiful birds.

Gentle Giants .... how can anyone resist? I find it odd that they aren't more popular than they are. I am really exicted, watching mine grow! Do any of you show your Giants?

 

[Southerngirl]

I do not show them but maybe in the future ! I have never shown chickens but I have always been raised around poultry and may try it.

I am in Florida and have JG. The wife and kids love them. I will post some better pictures when I get them. I hatch out about 60 or more chicks a month from them and boy do they go fast. It seems everyone is wanting them. My roo is a big boy. The girls are bigger than the Reds I had and bigger round as well. Not to bad laying i the winter time. I use my extra hens with my frizzle roosters and Americana Rooster. I am trying to get a large Frizzle breed going from JG.

Hey Kathy, I know you wrote and asked me what I knew of. And the name is Maria Hall in Scottsburg Indiana. She is sorta a Black Jersey Giant legend in these parts. I have too much on my plate to do Giants. But, IF I did, that is my first call.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays to all!
