Thanks for the compliment, Candice, but the credit goes to you as well! I may have provided good quality chicks, but you've obviously raised them well...more than 50% of the equation!
Candice,
There is an address to send a paypal payment to. I'll need to get it for you.
For others in the ABPC -- as Chris mentioned, we're going to put out the next newsletter in March. March 1 will be the deadline if anyone has anything they'd like to contribute -- or want to advertise...
Well, we've been calling him Five-Toed Louie. I posted these pics on the Buckeye Club facebook page, and the breeder came clean. Seems there was a Silkie rooster running around loose that may have "jumped the fence" for some lovin'.
Unfortunately, caveat emptor is never more important than...
Fun, huh?
Now what if I told you this was from a "buckeye egg" marked as to the line of buckeye? Seems there may have been a bit of something else somewhere else, eh?
The point is, no matter whether you're buying day-old chicks or hatching eggs, be sure of your source! Ask for references...
Here's some fun for a Monday morning :) Let's play 20 questions!!
What would you call this chicken?
He has a single comb, a tufted head...
Feathered shanks...
and FIVE toes...(also visible on left foot in above picture)
Tell me your thoughts....and I'll let you know what...

Pathfinders:
Do you have any of his offspring?
No, his hatchmate is in the breeding pen.
cgmccary:
Red tailed Hawk?
Yes. Big one, but not large enough to carry the cockerel off. DH chased him away.
ggibson:
Was this one of the ones I saw at Hutch?
Yes, this was my #2 pick from my 2011...
We lost a good one yesterday. #59, who didn't get a name, died defending the flock from a hawk. The hawk got him, but the rest were safe.
RIP #59 hatch date 2-7-2011
