You won't go wrong with the Buckeyes... I am very impressed with the ones we ended up butchering. Good weights for heritage birds I think. Message me or just ask if you would like more information!
I have 3 Buckeye roosters for sale, 21 weeks old. Very friendly, very good looking! Brother took 3rd at the fair and sister took 2nd. Lay line of Buckeyes, very pretty!! Hate to see them go to the freezer, I just have too many for my 2 girls... PM me with questions. I live in East Central Ohio...
Hi Tilley! Welcome to BYC! If you are looking for good quality buckeye pullets then you need to contact the ABC, American Buckeye Club. They have a website - http://www.americanbuckeyeclub.org/ , and a very active yahoo! group and facebook page. There are several quality breeders listed, many in...
Wish I could help you Shawn, but my 35 chicks aren't laying yet :( and I don't have any year olds yet, but I will reply to bump the thread up. Good Luck!
No offense to the Myer Hatchery ( I have birds from them, including Buckeyes arriving June 4th) but if you want true buckeyes check the American Buckeye Club link that was posted above. I have 6 Buckeyes from Jeff Lay, a true breeder of the birds and am very happy with them! I ordered my...
Hi all in Central Ohio! I have a friend who has recently lost some of her chicks due to a very bad dog. The dog has now been relocated and they are looking to add more chickens (6 - 12) and a rooster to their flock. The ones they have now are about 2 months old and they would like to find some...
If I had more confidence in what I was doing I would do it for you. I am just raising my first batch of cx's now. My only advice for you would be to find an Amish family...
Good Luck in your search!
Hi there!! I am near Martinsburg and Utica myself! You sure have chosen some wonderful breeds of chickies! I am going to post some pics of the new chicks I got Monday. There are 34, 21 cornish x and 13 egg layers... RIR, barred rock, columbian wyandotte, and buff orphingtons. They are all sooo...
If it were me I would put them together now! Since they are all still smallish they should do fine. I put a 3 week old in with 5 day olds and they did fine. I would make sure you have PLENTY of food and drinking space, as well as overall space for them all to be able to move towards / away from...
Wow LindaKatheryn we are close! I am in Saint Louisville and I go to Utica everyday, usually twice!! Good luck with your coop and run, I have been working on mine for what seems like forever! If you need anything be sure to hit me up, its nice to know that there are people on here close to me!
You have certainly come to the right place looking for ideas and any answers to question you may have!! The forums here on BYC are many, and almost any question you have has been answered in the past, but of course you are more than welcome to ask any question. The people here are very nice and...
Welcome to the group Rebekah, that is my name too! It is not often that you see it spelled our way!
With all of your experience I am looking forward to any tips and tricks you may have to offer!
P.S. Your dog is beautiful! I have basset hounds myself, just like a Great Dane, only smaller and...
Thanks Dear, but not this year... maybe next year... I almost have my fiance convinced, and after the early spring this year and the slim chance he will get much Turkey hunting done I might even have a better argument! I know the raised turkeys won't taste the same as the wild ones, but dinner...
Yeah I sure don't think that I will be bored this summer, besides the chickens I also expanded my garden twice the size from last year, am starting a compost pile, a worm farm, and meal worm farm (for the chickies) and oh yeah I have 3 kids in 3 different baseball / softball leagues and an...
That is a great jump! I have 6 buckeyes and 1 (rescued) white rock right now, 5 weeks old, have 20 cornish cross, 3 buff orphingtons, 3 Colombian wyandotte, 3 RIR, 3 barred rock, and 1 surprise coming April 30, and 2EEs, 3 Favorelle, 3 light brahma, 3 more buckeyes and 1 more surprise coming...
I sure did get more than just the chicks, I think I picked his brain for all I could before I let him leave! LOL He was so nice and down to earth, I don't think I could ask for a nicer breeder to get my chicks from!
As for your chicks, I am looking forward to hearing how the buckeyes do in...
