My first hatch!
Two Austrlorp cross, two leghorn cross, two RIR cross and one Buckeye! Then the mystery exotic from MMcM hatchery which I think is a silver laced Wyonette (sp) shipped and a arrived a week before these hatched. He came with meat birds which are already 3x his size.
I tell you...
I googled Nettie Metcalf and found a picture in an article she wrote featuring this Buckeye. I wish there was a front view of the comb but the picture seems consistent from those who posted on here.
There're a lot of gorgeous birds posted to which do you refer.
I don't know how to put multiple quotes on mobile :(
Oh no hope everyone was ok and sorry you're going to miss the show :(
Not everyone is mean on here or at least that I have met in my limited experience. I was thinking we need a "fun" buckeye thread where sop, shows and judging isn't talked about but just our experiences. Like my buckeye who half crows if we look at him like he suddenly gets stage fright and it...
These two have bouncing chicks inside and the last eggs before my only Buckeye hen went into molt and stopped laying. So it's going to be a stressful week.
Thanks! I just can't wait till spring!! I'm working in finding one more line for my plan.
I have 2 eggs Buckeye eggs of 10 in the incubator lockdown in 4 days but being a first timer not too hopeful. This is going to be a very interesting next year :)
I had to go back to make sure, but I don't see where I said I wasn't welcome to opinions and I've posted a couple more photos when requested. So I'm not sure where the assumption that I was refusing other peoples opinions and I wanted to wait for judges.
My next show is in December, I was...
Just remember it's the surface area not so much depth. My bathroom is about 38% humidity all the time. The south does mess with a lot of temp and humidity issues though.
Thanks, I spend a lot of time with the birds so temperament is important. As I mentioned to someone else Jr will be bred with my buckeye hen and my leghorns as well as BB with the buckeye hen. I was originally going to put him with my australorps but I ended up selling them and culling the rest...
