Maria's Jersey Giants, since 1977

            BREEDING QUALITY JERSEY GIANTS IS OUR FOCUS  

What started as a hobby in raising Jersey giants & providing fresh eggs for the family has now gained popularity in the chicken world. Folks are wanting a breed of chicken that is gentle, excellent 4-H projects, and a breed that is dual purpose providing fresh eggs and/or meat for the family. Maria's Jersey Giants are very competitive in local 4-H shows and are doing some winning in the American Poultry Association (APA) shows.

Having our own flock to lay the most healthiest eggs for our family has always been important. Because we have feed to purchase and other expenses that go along with raising healthy quality chickens we do ask more for our birds. Our flock has a life long history having taken over the flock as a child back in 1977.  

 We breed for the betterment of the breed and do not mass produce.  

 Breeding nicely laced blues is what we are known for throughout the USA. We also offer splash and black Jersey giants. Our birds have become very popular as seen in past issues of Backyard Poultry Magazine, Hobby Farms, and Chickens Magazine issues. We ship hatching eggs, baby chicks, started birds, and adult all over the United States.

WE WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR PURCHASING OUR HATCHING EGGS AND JERSEY GIANTS IN 2012 AND THOSE THAT HAVE PURCHASED IN THE PAST!

Beautiful Blue Jersey Giant cockeral with excellent lacing. This big boy is pictured in the Backyard Poultry Magazine -Dec/Jan. 2012 issue. Cocks usually are 15+ lbs at maturity and hens weighing 8-10 lbs.       One lady reported that the cock purchased at one year of age later weighed 23 pounds at 2-3 years of age. Now that is one big bird!       I wished I could have seen it at maturity.

Jersey giants are socialable birds and make not only good pets, but also fine 4-H projects. Several of our birds have won at APA shows as well. We have excellent reports on our birds from very pleased customers that marvel how healthy the birds and how much bigger they are in comparison to hatchery birds.

 Our Aussie named Ellie passes through our beautiful Blue Jersey Giant flock.

  Blanca (White German Shepherd cross) shows a surprised look as she meets eye to eye with the Black Jersey Giant cock. It is like she is saying, "oh I did not know you were there!" Jersey Giants adapt well with other animals and people . We do not have any mean Jersey Giants on the farm. The giants lay beautiful medium to dark brown eggs. They are on medium to large in size.

 Very handsome blue Jersey Giant Cockeral &  the lighter bird is not quite a splash, but has been referred to as almost a "Self Blue"  or Silver looking cockeral. 

Our last hatch for the year is 10/22/12. These birds are highly competitive in poultry shows the following summer making them more mature or near to laying. If a bird is under 1 yr of age it is a pullet and/or cockeral.   Shipping available within the USA only!

Black Jersey Giant pullets check out their winnings at the Scott County Fair. The black Jersey giant pullet is so curious............I believe the Black Jersey Giant notices the small chicken.

 Which egg do you think is from our Jersey Giants and which egg is from the store???

The egg to the left has a brighter orange color and looks more healthy. This egg is from our Jersey Giants!!Notice the Jersey Giant egg is not as runny as the store bought egg on the right. Typically an egg that has been kept in cold storage longer as the one to the right have a tendency to be thinner consistency verses the Jersey Giant egg to the left holds its shape together. Many people can see the difference in farm fresh eggs verses store bought eggs. One lady reports that her pancakes and cakes are not the same when s he uses store bought eggs!!!

 It makes good sense to have your own backyard flock to provide consistent fresh eggs for the family.  It is nice to know where your eggs have come from and you can control what they are eating too.   If you haven't noticed some of our store boughten foods are being recalled quite often for Listeria and Salmonella.

Our son wins 6 trophies & 1 Reserve Champion with Jersey Giants and bantams exhibited at our Clark County Fair in 2008. (We no longer raise bantams and focus on Blue , Black, Splash Jersey Giants only). We raise no other breeds of chickens other than Jersey Giants!
