And to add, you shouldn't get any whites. To the best of my knowledge it never happens. When the breed was started hundreds upon hundreds of chicks were hatched by each breeder, you don't see this today, so much less likely to get a 'miracle' white 'sport'. And back then they were mainly breed for the meat market, so they would have been sent to the butcher without much thought. Now I'm wondering how many of these 'sports' white giant's were actually used in the start of the beginning developing the white jersey giant line??
I bet not many, probably just a handful.
I can't remember where I read it, maybe National Jersey Giant Club, possibly a old APA newsletter I've read plenty of them also, from what I read someone hatched out some white giant's and Golda Miller got wind of it and snatched them up and started breeding them separate. It could be all white giant's trail back to this.
I like the white variety cause no one else does, and I like to be different ;-)
And I want to start a commercial capon farm when I retire and the whites dress out cleaner, just getting a jump start on my line of breeding stock :-D
