Not just yet. I just got the birds.

Ok well if and when you do please let me know I'd like to be a breeder and I don't like hatcheries to much

My Jersey Giants are getting big. This is them 3 days old and now they are 8 weeks old. 100% Organic with color coded tags.

I so want a pair of splash or blues. Please Santa I need an incubator!!May have to rethink part of my new coop?!?!

 

[daskhan]

If you can get the jersey giant eggs I could probably incubate them for you... Where are you located?

 

[daskhan]

I had a few chicks looked just like that but I thought they were australorps

Thank you Daskhan,I really appreciate the offer. I am in ohio and I feel that it would be too late in the year for new chicks, especially large fowl.I will have to talk to my hubby and let him know I am thinking a pair of giants . I have a LF addiction I think, LF Cochin and Light Brahmas here now. I have wanted real JG for yrs. I could, not get a batch of quail and change the broody pen into a JG pen. Had hatchery stock giants and that was very very sad. They were not giant.

Is this a jersey giant? It's 6 1/2 weeks. The feet look like snakeskin, black and yellow. And I'm guessing cockerel?
