Ok thanks! I am in love with the big birds and am looking at the Jerseys for a possibility in the future

Hopefully they would get along well with my silkies?

My Jerseys are pretty laid back & get along well with pretty much everything they've ever been put in with.

That is great to know, thank you

It is 100 degrees today and you are thinking about frostbite? You should be thinking about sunblock. It will give the meat a nice coconut flavor

A few more pics before the swap - boy or girl? Help me out - I'm so torn. The comb is bigger than the other pullet, but not red like the roo's. I can't decide!!!

(She/ he is 8 weeks old)

Not sure about #1, but #2 and #3 look like boys to me. (but I have them the same age and some I'm still unsure of so NO expert by any means. Just giving you a vote my Florida friend!

That's just different light on the same chick. I don't know why the first picture is so dark. I'm sure of the genders on all of them but this one. It's kind of like the pictures - from one angle I think, "roo"

, in a differen light, "pullet"

.

Then I vote "roo". However...I have a couple that are the same...bigger comb than the obvious pullet. (and a couple of "for sure" pullets have really pink/red combs too). I'm keeping mine until 3 months at least to judge better. Good luck! Where is the swap?

It's in Ocala. Maybe I'll just take the three for-sure roos and my two mystery breed chicks, and keep this maybe-roo for a little while longer.

Here is Goliath my Black Jersey Giant Rooster He was hatched in 2009

And here is Color I didn't get any chicks out of him I sold him.

Chics, if I absolutley had to guess, I'd say cockerel also.

Lofty - I'd love to see a full body shot of your Goliath! What a pretty head he has!
