    Buckeye Breed Thread

    "When in the spring did you get them? What did you feed them? How old were they in the fall? Buckeyes do mature more slowly than Leghorns, especially production strain Leghorns, no question there. And laying is tied to many factors, including maturity, quality and quantity of feed, and...
