Lol ya i cant remember where i seen my first jersey giant but i have been wanting them for a while.they are massive in sizeYou've peaked my interest!! I'm going to have to check out the Jersey Giant breed! Congrats on your new flock!!!
I ordered them from cackle hatchery..crossing my fingers they will grow hugeYes jersey giants are huge! Make sure to find a breeder, most hatchery stock is not very good. mine from hatchery ate same size or smaller than barred rocks. Blue jersey giants areon next years list.
Good job. I struggled with a fox last year never did trap it but didnt try a keg trap cause ofbarn cats.Same here! I haven't been on in over a week, and I've missed a lot! Looks like there are a lot chicks being hatched!! We just set up the maran breeding pen this past weekend. Hopefully we will start getting eggs soon as since we penned them, no eggs. I understand it takes about 5 weeks to get "pure" eggs, but I still want my eggs! Hope every ones spring is going wonderfully! Just to update on the fox issue. We did trap one. It was caught by the leg though, so DH had to shoot it. It had a dead hen with it!!! It was one that escaped the coop on Monday. We had to leave it out, because we needed to get to work. Here is a pic of the fox. And btw, to all the new folks!
