Here are a couple pics of a buckeye pullet at 22 weeks old. Definitely purebred. Very active eats and moves just like the rest, roosts up with the others. She is much smaller than the other birds her age and younger. Not on the bottom of the pecking order (she holds her own). Very friendly first...
Ive got 8. Delawares, Buckeyes, Silver Laced Wyandots, Buff Orpingtons, Jersey Giants, Barred Rocks, New Hampshire Reds, Rhode Island Whites.
God must love crazy people because he made so many of us.
I know there would be some one who knows on here. You guys and girls are so smart. I want to cross a Buckeye Cock with a Rhode Island White Hen. I was just wondering if the offspring would be sexlink or have a name already. Thanks in advance.

:/If new chicks have not been immunized for coccidiosis and the feed is not medicated. Does terramycin or duramycin work to help prevent this? If not, what? If it does then how much should be added to the water and how often? TSC does not stock medicated feed for the starter grower mix. Does...
I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any specific identifing differences between the barred rock and jersey giant chicks? Alot of the photos I have been able to find look very similiar. I have ordered both breeds and going halves with a friend but do not want to give up to many of either...
