Welcome to CindasBlueJerseyGiants.com!
~ This site last updated May 18, 2008 ~
I'm Cinda and welcome to Cinda's Blue Jersey Giants. Jersey Giants are
a rare heritage breed of chickens, the largest breed of chickens, and
are wonderful birds to have around. They are excellent for egg
production, meat birds, or both! Although they are big (hens weigh 9-11
lbs average and roosters top out at 13-15+ lbs) they are very calm and
gentle-natured. It is a rare Jersey Giant who would even think about
spurring a person - with the exception possibly of a stranger and/or
someone bothering his ladies. Roosters are typically quite gentle with
the hens.
I love experimenting with the background colors I can use that
coordinate well with my banner. A fellow poultry fancier designed that
for me. Thank you, Joe Bishop, for helping to make my website look its best!!
The photo at left was taken at our farm while I was moving the roosters
from one pen to another. I am pictured here with Mr. Beefy, my favorite
Blue rooster. Mr. Beefy and my original adult flock came home with me
from Texas to Marianna, Arkansas. At the same time, I had just hatched
chicks from hatching eggs I acquired from two other breeders of some of
the best
Jersey Giants I could find, to have three bloodlines to incorporate
together. I started with an adult flock of 6 hens and 2 roosters. I now
have several larger flocks, as described below.
Each year I hatch out and raise baby chicks to eventually incorporate
into the flock. When those growers are 5-6 months old, I start judging
them as to which birds are the very best and incorporate hens in with
existing flocks, and add one rooster for every five added hens. I will
be more critical when selecting my boys, I like to have at least one
older experienced rooster with each group of ladies and choose the best
roosters I have to go into my breeding flock.
My main adult laying
flock is 100% Blues, I have 20 hens with my very
best 4 Blue roosters so that hatching eggs will most likely have the
probability of hatching 50% Blue, 25% Splash and 25% Black. My second
flock consists of Splash ladies and I change up the colors of the boys
who are in that pen, currently the Black boys are the lucky ones. This
flock will produce chicks that will hatch ALL BLUE chicks. If I
"roo"arrange with Splash roosters, the breeding will produce ALL Splash
chicks, if Blue roosters are on duty then we will get 50% Splash and
50% Blue chicks from that breeding. I usually "Roo"arrange for this
flock several times a year. I have a blue-bred Black flock of Jersey
Giants, Black hens and Black rooster, from which eggs/chicks will be
available from as well. Eggs from that mating would hatch out to be
Black only.
I
do offer hatching eggs for sale and occasionally hatch day-old chicks
for sale, usually set individually per customer's order. The ladies are
starting to lay pretty well now, I have more Splash-Black eggs than
any other, next is my Blue-Blue breeding and my Black-Black flock is
only behind in that there are only eight of them! Eggs are gathered
separately
and marked as to which flock they came from. Different
color-combinations will have different markings, I try to give hatching
egg customers a translation as to what the different abbreviations I
use stand for. Each egg is also marked with the date in which it was
laid.
Above are my professional photos of our favorite models - Mr. Beefy and Henrietta.
