Hi everyone! I noticed today that one of my 7 mos old Buckeye rooster's is growing up! When I opened the gate to get into their pen, one of my banty hens started to walk out the gate. Just as she crossed the threshold, one of my Buckeye rooster's walked to block her way and nudged her with...

Quote: Yay!! Congratulations!! It makes for a Happy Thanksgiving, huh? Angie

This morning I heard at least one of my Buckeye roosters crow. They are 6 mos old now and finally getting the hang of it. I thought I kept 3 roos out of my chicks, however, I have recently discovered that one of my hens was a roo in disguise. I can't wait to see what they look like with all...

I love your barns!!! Angie

Quote: The beak will grow back but it takes a long time. I had one of my roosters lose most of his top beak in January, and it is about 1/2 grown back. So, he wouldn't be able to show this year, but maybe next. Good luck! Angie

Quote: I would train your birds around the other chickens and distractions. As you well know, a poultry show is loud and I think if they will be less stressed if they are used to the noise. What kind of chickens are you showing? The only ones who need to have additional training are the...

Quote: Ah, I didn't think to look there. I think rounded. Well, they're all settled in. And right next to a slightly older pair of Rhode Island Reds. I hope the judge either gets a reference for what they're supposed to be or just knows, and won't be thinking, wow, these are goofy looking...

Quote: "1" circled does mean 1st place of all the Buckeye pullets judged. Angie

Quote: Yep, they love anything shiny! I've got such a large spread in the ages of my buckeyes, I can't remember how old they are without looking it up. From cockerels looking at the freezer to new hatched chicks and everything in between. Somewhere in that group are my show birds, I just...

Hi Everyone, My Buckeye chicks are getting big. I think I can tell some of the roosters because their combs are getting reddish. I've never had chickens with pea combs, so I'm just guessing here. One of my darling Buckeyes pecked me in the eye yesterday. I was bent over looking at one of...

I like your set up, Chipper! And your chickens look great! Angie

Quote: How awesome is that! Your chicks are gonna love it!! Angie

Welcome back Tailfeathers. I hope all works out for you. Sounds like you have had a challenging couple of years. Hang in there! Angie

My Buckeye chicks are about 3 1/2 weeks old and they are in an outside brooder, in a big dog crate in the big chicken pen. As soon as we open up the crate door to fill up their waterer and feed dishes, they all come running out, like they are glad to see me. Most let me pick them up, but then...

My little buckeye chicks are all doing great. It is amazing to see how they all develop differently. Most of the chicks are getting their back feathers to varying degrees. I have a few who only have their wing feathers, and still are covered in the down on the rest of their bodies. They are...

My Buckeye chicks are all doing great. They are now starting to get curious and are approaching my hand when I am changing their food and water. They are so active and most are getting their wing feathers. It is hard to get pictures when they won't stand still to pose. All you see are...

Quote: According to the APA, their plumage is 'mahogany bay'. I would tell the judge that there are no varieties of the Buckeye. I hope this helps. Angie

Early this morning, 12:44 am, to be exact, after I got up to go to the bathroom, I was laying in bed worried that my new buckeye chicks might be cold. Mind you, I live in Arizona, but at night, the desert can get a little chilly. Anyway, they are in a covered, wooden brooder box with a...

I am so excited! I got the buckeye chicks I ordered, from BuckeyeDave. I could hear them chirping behind the closed door as the PO person was bringing them to me. Unfortunately, as soon as I got them settled in their brooder, I had to go to work. My DS will be checking on them when he...

You guys and gals are killing me with all of your incubating and hatching buckeye chicks! I wait until after the county fair to put eggs under any broodys I have, because I want to be there to be sure everyone is doing ok. My DS is in 4-H and I'm his club's poultry leader, so we spend 10...
