Stuck in the Coop’s Rating

These are the friendliest, calmest birds I have raised.  Instead of shrieking in fear and running when you work in the brooder, they come running to see what you are doing. 

 

Now that they are in a coop, you have to take extra care not to step on them as they are curious about everything.  They 'talk' to each other a lot at bed time. 

 

Highly recommend, please take care to purchase from a reputable breeder.  Buckeyes were almost extinct so it is important to breed to standard to maintain the qualities that make them such a unique bird.
