Standard-Bred Jersey Giant Chickens
|
PROGRAM ON HOLD AS OF 2025
due to bobcat attack on our flock The Craig Farm raises beautiful Jersey Giants in north Georgia. Our goal is to breed Jersey Giants according to the APA Standard of Perfection. We want to maintain a flock that is competitive in the show ring while also laying a generous number of eggs and providing a delicious, pasture-raised table fowl. Brandon and I began building our Jersey Giant flock in 2022. White is our main variety and originates from Hall/Vaughn lines. We incorporated an exceptional black hen into the white flock from April Rob in 2024. This hen has added much needed size and width to our white flock. 2024 was a big year for us! We hatched out our second generation of Jersey Giants. Although our focus is on white Giants, we did hatch a few black split to white chicks this year to help improve the size and type on our females. We also attended our first poultry shows where a homebred cockerel, Ivan, took Reserve in the American class. In the fall, we attended a second show and won Reserve American with Ivan's daughter, a pullet named Double Oh Seven. Members: National Jersey Giant Club |
Jersey Giant eggs
Jersey Giants
The Jersey Giant is an impressively large bird with exceptionally calm demeanor. They were originally developed as a multipurpose homestead chicken: laying regularly while growing large enough for the family dinner table. Giants lay 3-5 brown eggs per week and are occasionally broody, although they rarely set long enough to hatch. Jersey Giants are slow growing, taking 10-12 months to mature. They are best suited for slow cooking techniques.
