    Hot birds

    I was certainly not thinking of moving them...poor birds. I was just considering what birds would be best there. I guess I was thinking that they would not do well in the hot weather because they are heavy, thickly feathered birds. Maybe it is not as big an issue as I thought. When thinking...

    Hot birds

    I am raising Buckeyes in WA (haven't been on in awhile), but now will be moving to Central Louisiana. I just assumed that it would be too hot for Buckeyes there. Is this correct?

    Buckeyes

    How are your buckeyes doing? I have 6 month olds. Any broody hens? Are you raising chicks?

    What about the Buckeyes? I thought you had some. I am interested in standard sized Bucks here in Ellensburg.

    Young buckeye's with an older roo

    Thanks so much for your response. I am enjoying these chickens a lot and watching them grow. I the roo is such a sweetie and handsome and I have never had any issues with him and the kids. I figure I still have a couple of months before I am looking for eggs and need to cull the young roos.

    Young buckeye's with an older roo

    I am pretty new to chickens. I had been given some hens and an Americauna rooster last summer, but due to dog incident only had one barred rock hen and the roo in fall. I have raised 15 buckeyes and they have been out with the two older ones since Christmas with no problems. The Buckeyes are...

    Pecking Out Feathers

    I would like some clarification on this as well. I am a new chicken person. I have 17 10 week old Buckeye's that were put outside in the cold around Christmas. I have noticed that the 2 smallest chicks are getting bald spots in the middle of their backs. The smallest is the worst. I...

    Buckeye Breed Thread

    Quote: I also have 17 chicks, now 9 weeks old and I transitioned them from the Game Bird Startena to the Game Bird Conditioner. I think the results of that Buckeye study said that reducing the protein from 30% to around 18 was a good idea after 8 weeks. That doesn't change the amount they...

    Hello from Eastern Washington

    Happy New Year, I am a newish chicken convert in Kittitas Valley. I was gifted an old tractor in the summer and 5 hens (Buff Orpington and Barred Rocks) and an Americana rooster the fall. Due to faulty fencing lost 4 of the chickens to the overzealous dog. So with my appetite for raising...

    Buckeye Breed Thread

    Quote: Interesting; you've done well. That is why your chicks have such good growth which shows in their shank size. A couple of weeks ago, I took possession of 14 Buckeye chicks that were 8 weeks old December 22. They were from eggs that I had given a friend locally. The friend's job moved...
