Pros: Medium sized eggs.
6 eggs a week per hen.
Docile.
Rarely broody.
Cons: None.
Our three hens are just the best! They love to follow our rooster around and be held. They have never attacked us and are a very calm breed. These are a truly great breed.
Pros: Good with free range, or captivity (needs some space.)
Great foragers and hunters.
Docile, easy to handle. Safe with children.
Large breasts and thick legs, excellent dual purpose.
Beautiful tail feathers.
Cons: Very muscular, results in a long distance flyer. Considered a con if it jumps over your fence.
Our buckeye rooster came without notice, he walked straight in our yard and did his own thing! We decided to take him as our own since no one claimed him as theirs. Ever since I’ve got him, he’s been a really easy bird to deal with. He’ll always watch over the girls while they eat and scare our cat away when he comes passing by. I’ve never been flogged or threatened by my rooster, they’re very chill, and loving creatures. This breed deserves a five!
