I've talked to Mr RHodes, a looooonnnngg time buckeye breeder and he keeps 2 males , an heir and a spare. LIke that phrase! LOL Figure he knows what he is doing. I also follow the spiral breeding theory and so each pen needs a rooster. I'm still figuring out what I"m doing. Need more space...

Definitely a good idea to keep a rooster and a spare. Good luck with the hatching plans.

Sorry cooper that that hawk was persistantly pesky. I always worry about keeping only one rooster.

I don't have any old and rare either--but they sure are interesting. Good job COoper on the facebook page--sure to get good results.

Very challenging to work with a limited number in a gene pool. Have you considered a rotational breeding pen system? Might decrease your inbreeding.

Thank you DT for the pics. I had no idea what they looked like. I have the modern types. Which have a very diferent look, or type. What is the history of these birds, where did they originate? Have you read up on the development of these birds?

DT, That would be great. Saladin hasn't been on for a while but I welcome that expertise back. Saladin are you out there?? Maybe we can turn this into a bit of a documentary for some of the breeds.

Cooper, I would love to know more about this breed. WOuld you do a little write upon it? Something educational for the lurkers, and me . . I 've never heard of this breed. ANd I only know a pinch about the pennie--it was crossed with marans and is the bane of marans breeding now. Sorry--no...

Popping in to say "hi" and looking forward to continue reading the early posts and catch up. Too bad this thread is no longer active.
