Would anyone care to discuss the width of the head on a buckeye? Just wondering since there is so much emphasis on type on this thread.

Metella, I am sorry if you took offense to my post, that is not my intention. I am straight forward and don't beat around the bush. I don't sell birds. I breed them, put them in the layer pen, or I eat them. Here is the link to pics. It is a club site, but this one is all about pics and...

I never said any bird was better. I only stated that the color does matter. It's about the table and the yard. There are plenty of pics of dark birds on here. I do not have perfect birds. I am just sick of people stating that you can't breed color and type at the same time or that color...

This is an excerpt from Poultry Success October 1917, History of the Buckeyes By Nettie Metcalf herself. "Many names for my new breed suggested themselves, and year after year they bred truer to the type I had in mind, which was a modified Cornish shape, with the very darkest of red plumage...

Mrs. Metcalf's buckeyes, they were all descendants to hers, aren't they.......it's just a shame that some breed them so light in color. Well thank you Mr McCary for illustrating my point clearly. I guess no need to post pics now. It is up to the breeder whether they breed birds that are...

I especially find it appauling that someone would use their special permissions from the APA to post that said SOP in order to direct readers of the Poultry Press and all over the internet to their website. I would think that those special permissions would be used only for members of the club...

I am disappointed in the fact that I pay for my standard and the Poultry Press but people post the standards and whole articles from the PP online. I guess I won't need to purchase either again.Is there not a copyright restriction on either?!?! I will post a pic later of a buckeye cock that has...

Hello Everyone.......Here is a great story of buckeyes finally coming home to the old Metcalf farm. Please read and pass around to all of your buckeye friends. It is clearly a historical event. Also old maps and pictures of the old homestead as well. Every buckeye friend should understand...

Hello all you buckeye nuts.

Just so it is not my computer screen or my imagination, I have to ask if those ABPC sponsored buckeye BB and RB trophies are orange. They sure look orange to me!

If you have no slate undercolor in any breeders, it won't magically appear. In general the lack of undercolor will leave you without the shine in the sun. Yes you will have a darker and lighter both with and without the slate bar. And yes I have buckeyes on the ground. And in their coops too. I...

Exactly my point. The slate bar is important. It IS in the SOP. The color is no less or more important than type. They are equally important. Funny tho it was pointed out to me that on the ABPC official website, the color portion of the SOP was left out. I would think that if a club goes...

They SHOULd also have toe nails. The fact is they should have correct size and color. Without the slate bar, they look orange. And if breeders don't have a slate bar, the offspring won't either. You can build your barn and paint it the proper color at the same time. The SOP isn't pick and...

The american buckeye club does have a site for understanding the SOP with pics and illistrations. http://americanbuckeyeclub.blogspot.com/p/understanding-sop.html It is free and open to the world to see.

Here is a link to Joe Shumakers website that Karen got her stock from. http://www.shumakerfarmpoultry.com/ Very nice website with lots of great info and pics of what a trophy winning buckeye should look like.

Interesting. I never read that in the rules. If anyone wants information on the breed, there are many places to go. I gave a few very good resources. And I forgot to mention it's all free. No yearly dues.

If your husband would like to learn more about the Buckeye breed, here are a few links. Just about everything you could ever read about them is listed in the files section here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/AmericanBuckeyeClub/ There is a breeder directory along with much more info...
