Jersey Giant

Recommended Posts

I have a Jersey Giant hen named Faye :) I'll have to get some more recent pictures, she's a blue splash and is just GORGEOUS! She was a chick when i got her, i posted pictures on here before somewhere. I've a new camera now so will take some pretty pictures of her, at the moment she's about as big as the brahmas but she's heavier when you pick her up, she weighs a tonne. She's very very friendly and more than happy to sit on the kids' knees/anyones knees really, although she's getting a bit big for the kids lol. She'll jump from the floor into my arms so that's something to be prepared for, she will also get straight onto my back if i'm stooping down or bent over for any reason. Cleaning the shed out with her pottering around can be a nightmare i tell you!

 

Anyway, yes, i'll get some pictures of her if you want? :)

Being totally nosy that one appears to be living in an eglu?? i would have thought that would have been to small surely? (plots whether she could get two hens into the spare eglu :whistle::whistle::lol:) not that i'd even consider getting more chickens :angel::angel:

What stunning pictures everyone. :D They have made my day. Seeing Faye has made them less scarey maybe they would be an option. :whistle: I can just see Sir Minky when he saw the size of a JG. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: The mind boggles. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Ladders spring to mind :lol::lol::lol:

 

I'm sure he'd try his best :lol:

 

He sometimes struggles with what he's got. Poor boy, very short legs you see. :lol::lol:
