Tinman,

My avatar is of a Cemani cock. I wish I had some Cemani stock. Very hard to come by in the U.S.

I may try to make my own black chickens. I have Black Jersey Giants, Black Thai and Black Sumatras, OR get some Tomarus, I may have to order chicks next year.

Thank, I'll keep that in mind. He's calming down a little now. I don't think he likes the fish net over him!

I don't know. He may have poor eyesight, or some neuro problem. I think I would just make sure he is getting food out of the bowl.

 

[Hennypen]

He can get food out of a dish since he doesn't have to aim at one thing. As long as there are multiple things in one area, he'll get something, just not the particle he aimed for. Put one bug in front of his beak, he'll miss.

I have a question regarding JG roos- I have decided to pretty much have all JG's, except for about 5 or 6 standard layers. I plan on having 2 or maybe 3 JG roo's (if they can get along) only, no other breed of roo.

Will the JG roo's crush my standard layers if they try to mate them? All the breeds are kept together and free range together. I am worried about my smaller girls. I want their eggs for eating and selling, and I want them because I like to see different colored chickens in my yard. Should I just keep JG's, or should I keep all the breeds?

Suzette - I wouldn't worry about your roo being too big for standards. In with my layer pen, I have a Jersey roo that's still young and growing. He's almost 11 pounds now, and he's in with Isa Browns, a NN, a few Marans culls, a NHR cross, etc. I've not had any worries.

Hennypen - I don't know what to think on your boy; is he growing as he should? Do you note any unusual growth characteristics?

 

[Hennypen]

He looks fine. .9 lbs already so seems to be growing well.

Pictures of my JG

My young Black, and Splash JG pullets. Aren't they beaultiful?

Big Boy, My Blue JG Rooster. He started crowing two weeks ago and he has a Deep Long Crow! Sounds so manly!

My Splash JG pullet.

Black Beauty, Black JG hen.

What are your thoughts on my JG's? I got all of them, but the younger Black JG pullet from a breeder. The young black JG pullet is from Meyer Hatchery.
