    Chicken Breed Focus - Buckeye

    Hello Crazi...There are many around the country who still raise Buckeyes. You probably have someone near you. I am on my second set of Buckeyes and am more than pleased with them.

    The Buckeye Thread

    Pullets will generally lay a bit longer into fall than a hen. For those that aren’t yet laying, they may not until spring. As for Buckeyes, they usually are not heavy layers. However, certain lines have been developed to increase “layability” if you will. You might want to inquire regarding the...

    Good stock, small size. Looking to quickly increase size

    Good stock, small size. Looking to quickly increase size
