Jersey Giants come in Black, White, Blue, & Splash for sure

My head tends to dump things out, thanks for the correction. After all, the only Jerseys I ever owned were Splash

Jersey Giants come in Black, White, Blue, & Splash for sure. Black Jersey Giants have yellow skin with a dark wash over the top. He has to have something mixed in to give him white skin (Orpington for example). Mixes can be really tough to pinpoint with any certainty. I don't think extra spurs are as uncommon as you would expect though.
I found this thread about bantam EE's with extra spurs (clearly he's not a bantam EE, but it is pretty interesting):

And this thread:

I love his funky two-toned tail! Are you planning to keep him? I think it would be really interesting to see what he looks like after he molts.

Thank you for the links

I am keeping him. I cannot wait to see what he looks like after some TLC. His feathers are in pretty rough shape.

Him and his two girls have lice I am treating it and hope that he's not anemic he does have some white on his wattles( I think that is what they are called) I did just get them a few days ago. Trying to get them to eat some good pellets and not cracked corn.

Any thoughts or suggestions on him are greatly appreciated he is very sweet and I don't want anyting to happen to him

Too funny!

It's like me forgetting about Partridge Rocks when they were the only variety of rocks I ever bred

Do you have a close up of the white? I see some on his ears, but I'm not seeing it on his wattles. It may just be from cross-breeding.

We all forget things..... I might forget to make dinner for the family but I don't forget to feed the chickens or to bring them snacks
