Talk about beating a dead horse.....that is certainly a nice Buckeye Cockerel Mr. Shumaker and I think Butch really liked him, too!

Yup, been going on since 2008 by a few folks who think individuals are more important than the Buckeye breed......or should I say tearing down others in an attempt to build themselves up!?!?!?! Keep your focus on the Buckeye, Joe and don't worry about the trolls or folks who can't see the...

Folks, this is especially important if you are wanting "Exhibition" Buckeyes or looking for a breeder of Buckeyes who is not a flash in the pan! As many people know, Joe knows this better than most because he isn't just a Buckeye breeder he has judged fowl as well, at the end of the day the...

An example of the difference in judging is pretty clear when you look at "double events" or "dual shows" where the classes are judged by one judge (or group of judges) in the morning and another judge (or group of judges) do the same later in the day or the next day. Nothing has changed with the...

I'm obviously not "Blueface" but anyone who does a few poultry shows will tell you a lot has to do with the judging aside from the condition of the bird at ANY show! In my opinion, one show does not measure the caliber of any bird, Buckeye or otherwise, it really boils down to how many...

That's a very good "formula" you use Mr. J.R. Hatch!!! Great for those Buckeyes, say hello to the Mrs. for me!!! I was wondering if you guys were still breeding and showing out there in the "Show Me" state???

Joe, I completely agree with the "total package" concept and you know lots of folks would say we are nuts but that's okay, too! As far as feeding Buckeye chicks my formula is pretty simple, feed a 22-24% chick starter that has ANIMAL PROTEIN and feed it to them until they are 4-6 months old...

Not sure there is much that I can say that hasn't been said already about the Buckeye or egg production but I'll give it a shot! When Nettie created the Buckeye, and for years up through 1920, she and others would write about the breeds legendary egg laying ability. I got started with Buckeyes...

Yup, it's been a very long time.....so long I had to create a new account! Guess I'm like the proverbial bad penny and just keep showing up?!?!? I'll send you a check as soon as I get my invoice Shumaker but don't cash it until July!

Congratulations on the "Grand Master" status within the APA and I believe it is the FIRST time for the Buckeye Large Fowl to share this honor! It's my understanding that in order to achieve "Grand Master" one must acquire 100 or more points showing a single variety and to my knowledge Shumaker...
