Awesome... that place is nice. You ever fish there? Oops... a bit off topic... sorry! Hey this is the Buckeye State...

Quote: Well? How did you do?

What were your results? Did you band them or are you waiting to see still? This is what I was referring too... I think it's the same as what your talking about but It's something that would have to be bred in. I'm not sure how you would do it without a cross of breeds? In the slow-feathering...

It's very common in broilers... not so much in dual purpose breeds. It has to be bred into them. Is it males are straight across and females are jagged feathering in the wings?

That's a neat sound to wake up to in the morning....

Quote: Not surprising at all. There are a couple hatcheries that are on BYC. They don't chime in when asked what strain they have. Trade secrets I guess Not a trade secret... they honestly just don't know... nor do they care. As long as they hatch chicks and look like the breed... that's...

Haha.... LoL.... Why didn't I think of that....

I noticed the same thing when I checked them out last night. The must not raise them anymore... or I got my hatcheries mixed up. I only ordered from two hatcheries... when I got the breeder birds. I have the catalog around here somewhere...

I would assume that they all came from one or two hatcheries to start as 5 years ago their wasn't too many hatcheries offering buckeyes.

Yes I was referring to Dunlap Hatchery for Meyers stock. I'm not sure where Dunlap got theirs from I just know that Meyers got theirs from Dunlap. A few years ago I raised a bunch of new breeders for Meyers and sold them the hatching eggs. I finally got frustrated with them and pulled the...

I am unsure of the source of the Ideal Buckeyes but my suspicion is they relate back to the Urch strain (and seems like someone told me that). It is the Buckeyes from Meyers that the origin is unknown. These birds originated from Dunlap Stock... based out of Idaho.
