Silly Buckeye babies . . . *pic update* - Page 3

Awww, so cute.   I lost a chick last night, don't know why.  He was dead in the brooder this morning.  I don't know if it was a buff orp or if it was a wheaten maran, I was running late for work (as usual) and just moved him out of the brooder to a sealed bag to deal with later.  Poor baby.

Oh, sorry to hear that, let me know why after you get home.

The second I open the door to the coop, my Buckeyes come running to the door.  Brutus (the one in the middle) is always the first one there.  He is going to be very large when he's done growing.  He is considerably bigger than all the others.  I love my Buckeyes as well.  They let my 3 year-old pick them up and carry them around.  Of course she'll spend an hour in their pen feeding them cracked corn from her hand.  I think that helps.

Beautiful chicks! 

They look a lot like mine, and mine are suppose to be RIR!  Who knows, maybe I have buckeyes as well!  How will Iknow for sure?

5 horses, 5 cats, 3 dogs, a tank of tropical fish, a Red Eared Slider, a tank of gold fish, CHICKENS: 2 BA, 2 SLW, 2 LB, 2 BSL, 3 GSL, 3 DeKalb Amberlinks (as far as I know!), 5 NHR, 6 WPR, 6 EE! Wait a minute!  Who added that rabbit to the mix?  Another rabbit?  Gosh they multiply faster than I thought!
Yup, a farm full of animals and lots of mouths to feed!
Loving every minute of it!!

I got the hatching eggs from BuckeyeDave.  He has a great flock.  I hatched out 7 pullets and 5 roos.  I'm going to have to make a tough decision when it comes time to choose the roos I'm going to keep.

Buckeyes have some RIR blood in them, but don't look similiar when they're grown.  Buckeye's has a pea comb, that will be your first give-away.

no I have no gripers, I cull those right away!
Now slackers maybe, but I find if you with hold food and water things get right back to normal very quickly.


I learn something new everyday on this site. I was hoping gypsies would wander by and collect the mouthy ones into thier group as they wander off into the sunset. Now I know I can trade them for something worthwhile like chicks, that makes them kinda valuable.

hhmmmmm

AND I WANT TO KEEP THEM ALL!  Well except for the two featherless screamin meanies lol, but they are such ugly prehistoric looking things, ya gotta kind of like them.
