Thanks for the photos...that helps. I will check the back logs too...just a lot of photos to glean through. Lady of McCamley

Anyone have some more pics of 10 to 12 week old Bucks to post of both genders? Trying to see what good stock looks like. Thanks Lady of McCamley

Query...I see animal protein mentioned as an important factor for Buckeyes. Where do you find bagged feed with animal protein? I thought that was illegal in the US due to the mad cow craze such that all poultry feed from manufacturers has to, by law, be vegetable protein now. I started my...

Good idea...mixing game starter with the chick feed. Yes...4 weeks...hard to believe. I'll try to get some photos up...have been too busy to take pics but this weekend should be calm enough to upload some. :D Lady of McCamley

Do you ever add any yogurt or ACV? Looks like I need to kick up the protein a bit in my bucks. Query...do the buck roo chicks grow faster than the females? I 've got a one that is clearly a lot larger than the other siblings that I suspicion may be a roo. They all seem to be feathering...

Well, success at last...I managed to get 4 hatchlings out of my dozen shipped eggs (with an assisted hatch even on one of them)...so to date I've got 4, count them 4, Buckeye chicks hatched this week by my broody Silkie. Curious now, I've heard Buckeyes are harder to sex than some...

Thank you for the responses...Buckeyes do sound delightful. I have found a breeder near me, so I will definitely investigate the breed and hopefully come spring be able to add a couple to my flock. Thank you again for your input Lady of McCamley

Okay so excellent mouser is an exaggeration...btw I was never thinking of removing my other protocol just adding a bird raptor or two on top of it thinking I could use as much help from all sides as I can get...my house cat has never caught a rat in his life but he's chased one or two at the...

Hello Buckeye owners, I am interested in Buckeyes and want to know what they are really like (not just what the books say): I am reading they are friendly, curious, and generally mild mannered (even often low on the pecking order); Decent layers of medium to large brown eggs, even in winter...
