This is the original Jersey Giant developed in New Jersey in the late 19th century by crossing several of the large, dark Asiatic breeds. It is a super heavy bird even a little larger than the whites. Its black plumage has a beautiful green sheen, the eyes are dark brown, shanks and toes are black except for yellow skin showing on the bottoms of the feet. With the straight red comb and tremendous size it makes an unusually handsome variety for exhibition. Hens are good layers of brown eggs and especially persistent through cold weather. Baby chicks are mostly black but do show creamy patches on the underbody, wing tips, and around the face. The white persists in the plumage until final molt of chick feathers takes place.

	Customer Product Reviews   I have received many diffrent orders of chickens and gamebirds your staff ALWAYS went that the extra mile to make sure I was happy with my order. You have the best birds I have ever ordered anywhere. Thanks and I will be talking to you again next season. All the best, Chuck     Dear McMurray Hatchery I love these chickens! My dad ordered 30 Black Giants for me about a year ago. When I got them, they were all healthy and peeping merrily. As they grew, I enjoyed having them even more. Now I'm selling their eggs, which are very large and delicious. The roosters I have are enormous too! I have even started hatching my own. All of my egg customers love their eggs. These are birds for meat or eggs. I had such a great time with my Black Giants that my dad and I have ordered a total of 160 more chickens,including some White Giants, from you for this summer. Thanks McMurray for your excellent service!!     I have had the best experience with the chicks I have ordered from your hatchery. I will remain a loyal customer for many years to come.     I just received my baby chickens. All are alive and well. My children love them. It is great to be able to get the service I have received from Mcmurray Hatchery. I will tell everyone. Keep up the good work and I will be ordering again. The Black Giants are great.

Did You Know? Depending on the weather and the chicken's size, they can drink 1-2 cups of water each day.
