Chris, I was talking to Bob Rhodes last night and he said the same thing. When I first heard of the comment, I thought "I wonder how well this guy knows Buckeyes?" Have a weight on that Buckeye? Mitch

I think this is that same bird taken at the Little Rhody Show. I've found Jason to be a nice guy, also. Mitch EDIT: It's a crappy picture. I think this bird likes to pose that way...

Is Jason's the top picture? I know I've seen that bird. . .

I think that Royce is correct, but I'd be interested to see what ga_goat gets from their eggs. You never know, though, Mitch

Scratch is feed (more of a treat), that contains a lot of cracked corn, wheat, and oats. Corn helps yellow the legs. It's also fattening, correct? Mitch

Those look very nice. Mitch

Quote: Like I said, I got really lucky to get these from ten chicks. I'm going to try to get some better pictures to put up on here. That pullet pictured (the darker one) has two crooked toes (incubator problem, still using her), I've got another one that looks very similar to her that has all...

Quote: Hey Mitch, I like what you got from what I can see, I like the one in the top picture there == also like the feather shape on your birds Hi, Yeah, I'm happy with what I got considering I only got ten chicks. Mr. Rhodes has got the type pretty well down, but there is some black in the...

Here's another that Don tells me is a little light but has nice type.

Hey, what do you think of this pullet? I think she has a good color. It is a little lighter in person than in the picture.

Excellent post.

Quote: I don't have an incubator, so I'd be getting chicks not eggs. I think I'll purchase 5-10 chicks (Is that a good number?) and cull through them instead of getting a Trio. Because, what if during shipping one of the Trio died? Or perhaps I get three cocks? And as I've read through...

Nice job Janet, especially beating Don! Mitch

Quote: Well, that narrows it down a little bit, not well though. If you are looking for shipped eggs, the clser the better. That said, I have ordered & recieved fine shipments from Florida, so now you just need to find a breeder close to you, and contact them to order what you are looking for...

I see what you're reading. I hope Chris McCary could comment on this. . . He always does a better job at explaining this.

Quote: Incorrect. Buckeyes were not created using RI Red blood, a common misconception. The more common and better (that I can think of) strains are: Rhodes; Urch; ALBC; ; McCary; Schrider; Barenger (sp?); Brown, and a few more. Hope I helped, Mitch

Quote: Where are you located? Mitch

Quote: It does indeed happen. Some years, as Punky says, you'll see a lot after crossing a new line in. Cull them hard, (sell, eat, whatever) and it should go away. But never use one for breeding, no matter how spectacular a bird it is in other regards. The single comb has been in there for...

Quote: It can pop up, especially when crossing lines, I'm told. It happens because of their heritage, mostly Single Combed birds. Any Buckeye with a Single Combs are culls. Its a recessive gene.
