Yes, their voices are changing! It's adorable. People visiting sometimes get scared because the Buckeyes chase everybody around! xD While I'm fond of chickens, I'm especially fond of my little Buckeyes. Can't wait to show them at the fair.
That's great. Btw, I so wish I could send you pictures! But my dad currently has the camera and he's in Europe right now on a business trip...:/ So I'll have to do without the camera for another week or so.
But they are all so active; honestly, I've never had chicks this vigorous - and I've...
I got the impression that that show was a little larger than your 'average' show?
@ Chickielady - I looked around for Javas, I found some mottled, but no black.

I got permission from my parents to state where I live, which is in North California.
I'd go to Chickielady, she's got nice ones.
