WYNETTE,

I was cleaning my brooder out so the chicks would have clean bedding. I decided to take some photos of them.

These Jersey Giant chicks were 1 week old Monday Nov. 19, 2012. I hatched Jersey Giant Black, Blue, and Splash. Then I hatched Brahma Bantams both Light and Buff.
The Jersey Giant are from Wynette the Brahma's are mine.

Wynette as you look at some of these photos you can tell that I have one JG chick that is smaller than my Bantams. Any ideas?

My giant are GIANTS to the Brahmas except this two from this hatch. One of the small ones has no white/yellow on the lower tummy all black. I will get better photos when I have more time this weekend.

The boys are fighting over the one splash!!!! who gets to show it at the fair!!!!

ok I posted this a while back so this is an UP DATE !!

While cleaning the chick pen in the garage this past weekend I ask my boys about the smaller black chicks in the pen. I just could not under stand how the other JG were so much larger (a lot larger) than these two. So my youngest proceeded to tell me that he wanted to see if his BLACK WYANDOTTE BANTAMS would hatch. So he put some of their eggs in the bator with Wynette's JG eggs and our Brahma bantams.
A breeder at one of the shows gave Dyllin the pair of Wyandotte to see how well they would do for him. Got to love those breeders trying to encourage younger lovers of their breed!!!!
So the smaller chicks are Black Wyandotte Bantams.
We ended up with
1-splash
1-blue
3-black Jersey Giants from Wynette and they are growing quite well VERY PLEASED
the splash and blue are pulletts......ya!!!

THANKS WYNETTE LOVE YOUR JG CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW WELL THEY WILL DO AT THE SHOW THIS NEXT YR!!!

That is awesome.
 
hey Wynette. You seem to be just the person I need. Would you please give me your opinion on this rooster. He was sold to as a blue coper marans. I bought him "sight unseen" yea I know. When I got home, I thought he was just a blue marans. Well he grew and gre and grew and I knew he was not a marans at all. did some research, and figured out he was a big ole blue Jersey giant. here arre some pics. I was not planning to raise blue Jerseys but I just might get some hens for him.. Any and all advise would be welcome
