New chicken owner and I think out of my 5 chicks I may have 2 roos. I am obsessing over here🤣. One of my Black Jersey Giants I am 99% sure as it was slower to feather and developed the pink comb earlier and looks different from other. Out of my 2 Easter Eggers I think the grey one may also be a...
I got an incubator to hatch out my Jersey Giant eggs. First time using an incubator. Out of 11 eggs 6 seem to not be doing anything (maybe infertile). 4 we’re developing then all the blood vessels seemed to detach and pool in the same spot. And one is maybe coming along properly. I have pictures...
I'm Deb in Oxford UK. We have kept chickens for 20 years and although I've been getting fantastic info from BYC for 10 years I've never posted.
My husband and I have bred Jersey Giants, Buffs, Brahmas plus bantams, silkies, leghorns.
We love JGs because they are intelligent and calm and the...
On March 16th, after much anticipation and near-obsession, 9 black Jersey Giant chicks will hatch and be shipped to me. This is my first flock. For a year, I’ve been researching, plotting, planning, and acclimating my husband to the idea… and it’s all about to happen. Chicken stewards (chicken...

I am excited to receive my first flock of Jersey Giants... which are hatching on March 16, 2020.
I have recently opened our house to the...
I have 4 jersey giants 3.5 weeks old. 3 of them look normal and seem to be getting their feathers in nicely however one of them appears to be having some wing feathering problems. I’m looking for someone who can tell me if this is normal.
The first 2 photos are of my JG with normal wing...
We are new at FFA show chickens this year. We have some quality Rhode Island Reds, Black Jersey Giants and White Rocks this year. I hate to mess them up by not feeding them correctly! Could you advise/direct me on the brand of feed I should buy or % of protein I need to use. I see some are...
Chickens 4-25-2019 by debikm posted Apr 25, 2019 at 5:11 PMMy Jersey Giant chicks were supposed to be pullets, but I did want a rooster, to offer protection when they are mature enough to free range in the yard. One of them I've called my drama queen, s/he flails and shrieks like I'm killing her...
I introduced myself here about a month ago, waiting for my chicken accommodations to be finished. They are, and I am now the proud momma of five Jersey Giant pullets, although, to be honest, if one of them is a rooster I don't mind, they're beautiful birds.
I had planned on getting Rhodies...
Hi, I'm ISO of both Jersey Giant & Dark Brahma pullet chicks that are less than 2 weeks old. Prefer SD County, but Murrieta/Temecula area also okay too.
