Jersey Giant lovers

Backyard. I don’t need show quality, but I do want them to be big and have decent coloring

Wanted to update that Maria posted on her FB that she is having to rebuild her website but she is apparently still taking orders.

I got them at Tractor Supply on the 24th of March I believe.

Are the noticeably bigger than your other breeds

Yes, but not by an overly large amount. They are still growing, but I do not expect them to get very huge purely because they are from a hatchery. Some are about half the height of my tom turkey at the moment(back of chicken to back of turkey).

I just wanted to share pictures of my Jersey Giant, Ursula. I got her from the Meyer Hatchery chick bin so I wasn't sure what breed I'd end up with, but so far I'm glad I got the Jersey Giant! She's friendly and will jump up on my lap and let me pet her. She also will fly onto my arm on command. She's confident enough to not be at the bottom of the pecking order, but she is also still kind to her sister who she grew up with, a Salmon Faverolles who is certainly the very bottom of the order. She started laying eggs 5 days ago and has laid 4/5 days (edit: make that 5/6 days because she laid an egg shortly after I posted this). I also love her feathers with their green sheen. They are the softest chicken feathers I have ever felt. She has this really funny voice too, which adds some comedy to my flock.

What a cool chicken! I'd go with this breed again if given the choice.
