White Jersey Giant (Chick/Female/Pullet)

In the 1800s breeders in New Jersey created a dual-purpose chicken designed to compete with turkeys as a source of meat. The massive Jersey Giant variety was the result.  Although they grow slowly they eventually become one-third larger than other heavy breeds. These birds are ideal for anyone wanting an impressive hen that lays about a good amount of extra-large eggs or makes a good roasting bird.  Egg Color  Brown Weeks to Lay  24 Eggs/Year  240 Egg Size  X-Large Docile  Yes Cold Hardy  Very Comb  Single Eggs or Meat  Both Breed True  Yes Hybrid  No Heritage  No   Minimum quantities: 1 chick - for pickup only in Anchorage, Eagle River, Mat-Su. 10 chicks - for shipping to all other areas.
