    Jersey Giant Growth

    Does anyone have growth weights on Jersey Giants according to a chart? I am trying to figure out the cost/benefit ratio of raising Jersey Giants and processing them sooner than their “maturity date”. I was hoping to get in communication with somebody who has experience with this breed.

    9 month old died quick, confounding necropsy report

    Hello! Today, out of the blue, one of my 9 month old jerseys became very sick. Panting, then extreme lethargy, and then she died 30 minutes later. Yesterday, she was fine. I took her to my vet for a necropsy and she had a laceration on her liver, leading her to bleed out internally. My question...

    Jersey giant layed an egg at 18 weeks

    Hello! I’ve got four jersey giants that are 18 weeks old. One of them matured very quickly, she’s had a big comb and wattles for a few weeks, bright red. And today, she layed an egg! My question is, should I be concerned about any reproductive problems with her, since she is starting laying...

    (Mislabeled?) Chicken from TSC

    A friend brought her to me, and as I understand it, she was labeled as a jersey giant. She’s not very big though so I’m having doubts.

    Jersey Giant

    I have a female jersey giant that a friend picked up for me from tractor supply company. She is a rather light bird, she is smaller than my buff Orpington who is the same age as her. It’s odd though because the jersey Giants that my friend got for herself are bigger. Is she just a small jersey...

    Jersey Giant question

    Hello! I got four Jersey giant chicks four weeks ago, and I have a question for anyone familiar with the breed. I’ve noticed, compared to the other chicks I’ve raised, these girls look rough feather-wise. It’s like their bodies are growing too fast for their feathers? One in particular is a...

    7 week old roo or hen?

    This is a jersey giant. I'm guessing roo, as I see saddle feathers and his tail feathers are much bigger and fuller than his siblings. I'll attach a pic of one of his siblings suspected to be a hen (bottom pic) also wanted to know what age i can put them outside? I was guessing 10 weeks to be sure

    They're black Australorp...or are they?!?!

    Hey all! Recently picked up some chicks from TSC (bad idea, I know!), including 4 that are supposed to be black australorp, but 1 of the 4 looks different than the other 3. This caused me to obsessively research all the different possibilities and I've come to the conclusion that I either ended...

    My jersey giant is broody?

    Hi, I'm new to keeping backyard chickens. Currently have two Delawares and three Jersey Giants. All of them started laying end of October and early November.

    Roosting Jersey Giant

    My Jersey Giant hens are not getting the point to roost on the bars in the coop. I have various roost heights. Plenty of roosting space. These are the first JG I have had so I am learning about that breed still. They keep roosting in my nests. I had blocked the nests off for weeks and they still...

    Black Jersey Giant with BLUE eyes?? 👀

    Have had JG’s for years. I got these JG chicks from Hoover hatchery to refresh my flock…..this is the first I’ve ever seen with blue eyes. All mine have always had brown. Even my blue and splash JG’s have brown eyes. Anyone ever seen this before?

    Pecking Order and Freaked Out Hen

    Hello all! I have a bit of an issue. Obviously, all flocks have a pecking order, and in mine the head chook is my BSL, Pinguino. She usually picks on Brigid, our biggest chicken (literally, and figuratively) who is supposed to be a Jersey Giant. Well, I've noticed a few bloody combs in the last...

    Hi all, I ended up with 4 roosters from the Lavender Orpington bin at TSC and one of them is just such a sweet boy I'm thinking of keeping him.

    Anyone in or near Scotland have Jersey Giants for sale?

    I have tried to get Jersey Giants twice in the last few months and have been bumped both times just days before pickup. The only breeders I have seen are way down south in England, so I have been relying on Gumtree and sheer luck. I would love to have a few of those big beautiful girls and...
