There’s something quietly impressive about a breed that combines genuine size with an even temperament — and the Black Jersey Giant delivers both. One of the largest standard chicken breeds developed in North America, these birds carry themselves with a calm, unhurried presence that makes them a natural fit for backyard flocks, homesteads, and breeding programs alike.
Expect steady brown egg production from hens known for being gentle with children and easy to handle. Their deep black plumage has a subtle green sheen in good light — beautiful in any flock setting.
Chicks are available February through October from a hatchery-sourced supply. Order minimums apply: 25 chicks January through March, 15 in April, and 6 May through September (Webster City hatchery pickup minimum is 6). Birds ship via USPS Priority or Priority Express, typically 2–3 business days; regional door-to-door delivery is available in parts of the Midwest.
Your brooder should be ready before arrival. Live Arrival and 48-Hour Livability guaranteed — report any concerns by phone within 48 hours. Changes or cancellations must be made by 12:00 PM Central the Friday before your scheduled delivery. All live-animal sales are final once fulfillment is booked.
