“I love these large mellow girls! My flock matriarch is a Jersey Giant and she is teaching a new generation of chicks from mypetchicken. These large chickens have been very dependable layers of small shiny brown eggs, and they are pretty content to stay in the Yard/not hop our fences. They will routinely come peck at the door for a treat before heading to the coop to bed!
We love that they are cold-hardy and also suspect that they are just big enough to give the local hawks pause...we have lost some smaller breeds to hawks over the years but never a Jersey Giant. Ellie is now 8 (and still laying off and on).”
“The Jersey Giant we have is such a nice, docile bird. She is not skiddish but is aware of her surroundings. She is a good forager and solid egg layer. The color is very pretty with a greenish and purplish sheen to the black feathers.”
“Both girls are sweet and very friendly, however I'm quite disappointed by their size. I ordered several breeds in may 2018, and my lavender orpingtons are larger than my Jersey giants which I find to be rather disappointing due to their proclamation of larger birds. That being said, they're sweet and I have one brooding a batch of chicks right now.”
“We ordered 8 female chicks of various breeds in September. All chicks we're healthy and are still thriving at 4 months old. 2 of the chicks are Jerseys. To a little disappointment 2 of the 8 chicks turned out to be roosters (1 of the Jerseys and 1 of the silver laced Wyandottes). Both Jerseys are 2 of the friendliest birds in our flock especially the rooster. If you sit down in a chair out in the chicken pen, Tiny (as we named him) is guaranteed to jump up in your lap and he'll sit there as long as you let him.”
“I got a black jersey giant (female) in the spring 2012 and she's still going strong today! She's such a pleasant bird to have and so sweet to the others. Her feathers are extremely pretty, changing colors under the sunlight. We used her for eggs and she was a wonderful producer! So happy to have her :)”
“This was such a joy to receive my girls from My Pet Chicken. The process was simple the information overload was very helpful (cant wait to read through Free Tools), especially since I know nothing about chickens. As a child we had chickens but that dont mean I remember care giving. When my babies flew the coop I was in our local feed store and I was so excited I read the email out loud all listening thought that was such a cute way to put it. The tracking is exactly as they describe and USPS updated their progress. I rushed to the post office and the wonderful lady brought them out of the back in there cute box they were peeping up a storm what a wonderful sound. Got them home and finally laid eyes on my beauties they are so cute. Their home was comfy cozy for their trip. All in great shape, Im sooo glad I ordered from My Pet Chicken!”
