Read somewhere pedialyte is another route for electrolytes. Would that have less of a taste to it? If its even useable for birds to begin with??- LSBuckOE

I should have know grrrr aaag.
If the hens are laying eggs, they're fertile. If they're with a male & the eggs aren't hatching after incubation, it may be due to the male being sterile.- LSBuckOE

Oh bambam the chicken soup man.... Piched tail. He is also long/flat in the back. His feather width leaves much to be desired, nearing 1/2 the width of our 2yo male. If I remember correct he is one who only has slate barring in his undercolor on his back, being why he is overall a light bird...- LSBuckOE

The Buckeye Thread
Okay so what I'm getting from here is opinions on pictures is not welcomed? Even if they're posted by yourself, anything negative is looked at as controversial/unacceptable?? How will anyone learn what & what not to look for?? Why must we go out of our way to not step on toes to better the breed...- LSBuckOE

Not what I've seen, honestly. The darker birds seem to have the overall type, 85% of the time. Guess it goes back to the saying "You have to build a barn before you paint it". And those "obsessed" with the color will surely be obsessed with type as well. That's how quality birds are developed...- LSBuckOE

Doesn't seem cost effective to inoculate a smaller flock. If it was over 100 with new birds in often then yes, that'd be the route I go. But our flock is small in comparison to other breeders & we rarely get new birds in. Anyways. Which is the vaccination that can cause bird to test positive...- LSBuckOE

I don't think she lays still. They brood. I can't get mine to stop lol. It might be a New Hampshire cross. But some buckeyes are lighter. I got my utilities from welp- LSBuckOE

Our utility hens' diet is mostly free range. They're out 7am-10pm. Sleep in rafters (12-15 feet up). We have one hen that's pushing 12years. They lay daily, but if its a bad winter they stop for a bit. Ours hide the eggs, then they go missing. Pretty sure I have 3 broody utilities sitting on...- LSBuckOE
