    FREE - Two (2) Buckeye Roosters

    We got them from another homeschooling family in Xenia - not sure where they ordered them from. The boys are currently quite "friendly" with our ladies but not what I consider aggressive; one or two of our Silver Laced Wyandottes still wear the pants in the coop (for now at least) and remind...

    FREE - Two (2) Buckeye Roosters

    Free to a good home. Two Buckeye roos. Approximately 6 mos. old. Located in Wilmington, OH 45177. Local pickup only. The attached picture is from early November, I can take a more recent one if there is interest. Obviously only the two roos on the far right and far left are included here -...

    Roos I assume? And Q's on integrating them and egg production...

    The second alleged roo looks identical to the one on the left so I'm confident if lefty above is a roo then so is blurred righty. Maybe I'll try to get a better pic of them. As far as egg production (my bigger concern) - I've got a light on a timer in the coop so I'm pretty sure it isn't the...

    Roos I assume? And Q's on integrating them and egg production...

    First the pic - am I right in assuming the these two Buckeyes with big tail feathers are roos? The one in the middle looking away is the third that I'm fairly confident is a hen. Secondly, since introducing these 3 Buckeyes (initially from a built-in pen in the coop and now fully integrated)...

    Hmm, too many blue-green eggs.

    Those last pics are from mid-April when the post office called and said come get these noise makers, and the pic in my first post is from early July, I'll try to get some update pics tomorrow.

    Hmm, too many blue-green eggs.

    Townline Hatchery in Michigan - http://www.townlinehatchery.com/ Mt. Healthy is within an easy driving distance but Townline's 15 minimum order swayed us over most's 25 minimum. Ah, it seems just like yesterday...

    Hmm, too many blue-green eggs.

    Long story short - We originally ordered (5) Buffs, (5) S.L. Wyandottes, and (5) Araucanas. We ended up getting 16 in the mail. This odd one out has long been a mystery but we assumed based on her looks she was a Leghorn or something similar. Due to The Great Chicken Tragedy of '09 we are now...

    Question on insulation and roofing

    So we live in southwest Ohio where it can get below 0 in the winter and up to the upper 90's in the summer (with ~90% humidity as well). I'm trying to finalize my coop design and I've currently got 1/2" T1-11 exterior sheathing with fiberglass insulation and luan or showerboard planned on the...

    Why the extra cockrel?

    We ordered 15 pullets from Townline and got 16 all alive and apparently healthly in the mail last week. I though I read somewhere that they may add in a cockrel to help keep the girls warm if it was still cold out. Is that true? How can one little cockrel help keep the 15 other equally small...

They accept donations and also sell salvaged/leftover materials from their houses and the proceeds of course go toward Habitat's operating expenses. One of my local ReStores has...
