I think I paid $8/chick.

I got mine from Bill Dyke near Indianapolis. But I picked them up. Not sure if he ships or not. http://www.hidden-creek-farm.com/contact-us-about-buckeye-chickens.html

I got mine from Bill: http://www.hidden-creek-farm.com/buckeye-chickens---hidden-creek-farm.html Near Indianapolis.

Bill Dyke has Jeff Lay birds.

Last I knew they were moving but hadn't stopped with the Buckeyes. I may be mistaken, however. I think I have his phone number if anyone wants to try to contact him, send me a pm.

I got chicks. I'm "kind-of" in driving distance and I really hate shipping chicks or eggs. Two of us had him hatch for us at the same time so I picked up 31 chicks but I only kept 6 at that time. All were healthy kiddos.

@Smuvers Farm I got my Buckeyes from Bill Dyke. He's in the Indianapolis area. I believe they moved a little more north last year but still have Buckeyes. http://www.hidden-creek-farm.com/buckeye-chickens---hidden-creek-farm.html

With my VERY LITTLE experience with Buckeyes, I'd vote pullet also.

The old farmers used to say: "Two is One; and One is none."

Thanks for the quick reply. Like I was saying before, I haven't had this problem with my boys from another breed in the past and this guy is the only boy we have right now. I'm very straight-forward with my boys and let them know I'm in charge. It's obvious that he is responding to me as a...

Have a few questions for experienced Buckeye owners. I have a cockerel that will be a year old early June. He has been a good boy. he would even go into his separate pen whenever I gave him the signal to go. He's just been very easy to live with. Until this week. He was a very friendly...

Whoops....posted that in the wrong thread so deleted.

Here are a couple of photos (poor from the cell) of my cockerel from yesterday. He was hatched early June last year. Open for comments :)

I've seen that too. (Though his videos are somewhat "excruciating" if you just want to cut to the chase). Anyhow, I think there is definitely something in the metabolism that is not working up to par on individual birds. The sisters of the one I processed are both laying and behaving very...

I have a BYC friend that got one of my Buckeye cockerels that is hoping to find a new home for him. He is currently residing in the Peru, Indiana area not too far north of Indianapolis. She is re-homing as she had decided not to keep a rooster anymore. He was one of the chicks I got in early...

@BlueShadow I got my first Bucks about the same time you did. They are just now starting to lay. Possibly for 2 weeks but I know for sure this week because I caught one in the act.

I did just discover that at least one of the other Buck girls has started laying. I knew at least one of the pullets was laying but I wasn't sure if it was a Buck or an sfh. That's a good sign as this girl I processed didn't look anywhere near laying judging by the size of the ova.

About 1/6 corn. But somewhat high in BOSS (whole, not meal). I think I will do some experimentation in lowering the percentage of BOSS. However, there are other breeds here that are very lightweight eating the same feed. But that doesn't mean that there isn't fat in the abdomen. I want to...

@Minniechickmama These girls were chicks from Bill Dyke in the Indianapolis area. (http://www.hidden-creek-farm.com/buckeye-chicken-history.html http://www.hidden-creek-farm.com/buckeyes.html https://www.facebook.com/Hidden.Creek.Farm.of.Indiana) Yes, it was fat. Not peritonitis...
