Left: Pharaoh Hen Mature Right: Jumbo Brown Hen Mature
Just hatched today chicks, here are two "pharaoh sized" tuxedo chicks next to a Jumbo Golden. I say Pharaoh sized because they aren't the wild color but they mature around the same size as a paraoh so it makes sense to explain them that way, atleast to me it does
Pharaoh and Jumbo really only differ in weight, though Jumbos can lay considerably larger eggs, and have more meat. Jumbos seem to be more docile and more willing to take food from your hands than the Pharaohs can be. Pharaohs can be skiddish. Pharaoh is the wild size, Jumbo is the meat size, just like theres a bantam variety in chickens as well as a standard size
Just thought i'd make a post for people to view when wanting to see the difference in a picture.
Pharaohs are 5-7 oz in weight Jumbos are around 8 ounces to 1 lb in weight.... finding an lber is a challenge though
