I will also be refilling the bator tonight, I have about 4 dozen fertile eggs on my counter now, so I will filler up, and see if I can get this hatching thing down.

The PNPA double-show on April 20. was a slam-dunk for the Giants! In the first show a blue JG hen took best in class, in the second show a black JG hen took best in class, with the blue reserve class. The youth show was won by a boy and his Jersey Giant!!

I am enjoying reading about the JG's! I have a few that I got from a private breeder here in AL. My hubby and I are hoping that we will wind up with a roo and a couple of hens at least.
We just want to raise them for meat birds and eggs. How are the hens at raising her own chicks? I do not have a bator and do not want to have to get one.

I've not let them set on eggs, though I had one that wouldn't give up hope until today when I finally decided to put some eggs under her and discovered she was finally off the nest! I think they'd be good momma's.

Here are my Giants (1 1/2 months old) I THINK the two on the sides are females and the one in the middle is a male. They LOVE bacon and strawberries! <3
