Hi Flock Leader, my names Brandi, and I'm new. I understand your situation completely I have a Black Jersey Giant Rooster. He doesn't mate either, he does this goofy shuffle around hens but that's it lol. .I know he's about 10 or 11 months old, his waddles are bright bright red. When I had my hens in which I don't have anymore I actually gave them to my mother-in-law and father-in-law, because I figured he wasn't breeding due to not being with his own kind!! What my mother-in-law told me was shocking to me she said in the flock I gave her
there were more roosters than hens. It was especially odd because I had bought these chickens from a private breeder who claimed them all to be pullets. So I realized then, that's why he probably wasn't interested in mating. So I ordered some chicks from Stromberg's asked for pullets and they're going to be Black Jersey Giants, I ordered 5 chicks along with 6 Light Brahmas and one is a cockrel, and I also have 5 Salmon Faverolles along with them too. I've never heard of a black brahma I bet he's beautiful, like with my Black Jersey Giant they're late to mature. Someone told me it takes at least two years to reach full maturity.
