Got pictures of some of my Buckeyes (20 weeks old) and the coops I built a couple years ago. I think they will do well this winter here in upstate NY.

Quote: Thats what I ordered too!!Heck,I'd be happy with one rooster and a bunch of pullets.

Thanks for the pictures Kathy.Looks like like you got some nice Buckeyes there.I have 10 in the grow out pen that are about 2 wks.younger than your first batch.Not sure what I have yet but it looks to be 5 pullets and 5 cockerels so far.

I hope ya's all have a great hatch.I just hatched out 6 out of 10 from rnau's eggs last night.I was hoping a couple more would hatch out,but still,that's not to bad for shipped eggs. Now the fun part starts with growing them out and seeing what I've got.I'm really liking these Buckeyes so far...

Congratulations Laura,I bet you get some really nice birds from this batch. I have my second batch of Buckeye eggs in the bator and just got the first pip at 2:36 PM so I am psyched too !! Good Luck with the new chicks !!

Glad to hear you had a good hatch Kathy.I got 1 dozen Buckeye eggs from rnau and he shipped me 15.Five were clear when I candled on day ten. That leaves me ten in the bator that go on lockdown tomorrow.If I can hatch another eight chicks to eventually combine with my first ten I will be thrilled.

Kathy,congratulations on your new Buckeye babies.I really like mine so far,very friendly and affectionate.I have 10 Buckeye eggs in the bator that are due on the 25th. Can't wait to see how they turn out after they are grown.

I'm using 28% Game Bird Starter and planned on keeping them on it to about 20 weeks.I don't know if the excessive protein, being harmful, is fact or myth. Any other opinions on this ?

Quote: Same with my Buckeyes,most hatched on day 21-22. Kathy,uuum, love the new avatar.

Well, my Buckeyes are 3 weeks old and I am really liking them so far.Very friendly with great personalities.They are unlike any chicks I have ever raised before. I can see why they have become the favorite breed of many who have raised them for awhile.

Good Luck with your hatch.I am setting 15 Buckeye eggs in about 2 hours.These eggs came from "rnau" so they are more of Chris McCary's line. Sounds like lots of Buckeye babies are on the way !!

Laura,good luck with your hatch.I was wondering if you had set your eggs yet.

Well,my hatch is over and I ended up with 10 new Buckeye chicks.They are just loaded with personality and curiosity. I can't believe how friendly and quiet these chicks are.I think they are going to become my favorite breed.

No pipping yet but they are moving pretty good.day 20 just started so maybe pipping tonight. Good luck this weekend and you are lucky to have Chris going with you.Try to stay dry. LOL

James,do you have those Buckeyes looking good for this weekend ?How many are you showing ?

Thank you James,I have 17 eggs that went to lockdown.Everything is looking good and the bator is humming along nicely.

Very cute chicks Jen,and great pictures too.I need to learn how to take better pictures. My first batch of Buckeyes are due to hatch this Friday.Can't wait !!!

har,congratulations on your new babies and I hope you get alot more to hatch for you. Glad you waited,they are tougher than we give them credit for sometimes. Kathy,hope yours start to hatch soon and good luck.

Well,I have not hatched anything yet but,today starts day 10 for me and I will be candling a little later on. I have Buckeye eggs from 2 different sources and I could not believe the difference in size and shape with the eggs. Are your Buckeye eggs rounder,kind of like a modified golf...
