I haven't been on this site in quite a while, but I just want to update how superb my Buckeyes are doing, especially in this terrible arctic cold we are having in NW Ohio. I got some eggs from Chris almost two years ago and have been working with breeding lines trying to get an idea of what is...

These little Buckeyes are hatching out so quick and easy! I look into the bator to see a little pip - an hour later I look to see how the egg is doing and voila'! It is already hatched and the baby is up and running around! Soon as they all get done I will get pix!
