I'm going to be taking this handsome guy to the Medina, Ohio TSC swap tomorrow morning at 10am, if anyone in the area is interested. We can't have a roo in our neighborhood. He was sexed as female from Meyer and is 40 days old (will be 6 weeks on Monday). Friendly and curious with people but...

Thanks, it was just yesterday evening, but good info. Aww the pineapple story is too cute!

That is lucky! I will keep an extra close eye on everyone, s/he ate a big slug outside this morning :)

Completely silent, eating and drinking just fine, occasionally I will hear our sex-link Amelia making a sort of clicking sound in her throat that I assume is working on swallowing. How did the stuck throat get resolved? I've seen the Buckeye do this before when interacting with our cat. But...

S/he's been doing just fine, I had her/him out free ranging this morning (pic is from yesterday) still acting a bit aggressive toward some of the girls, especially if they go up on the high perch or ruffle their wings (not aggressively but the Buckeye seems to see it as a challenge). I'll keep...

We have one "rooster". Get it? Only one in the picture on the perch. But seriously, practicing crowing or adjusting something in his/her crop, over and over again...

Quite a few pics of our Buckeye at the beginning of the album, they turned one month yesterday. https://www.backyardchickens.com/g/a/6727084/first-chicks-day-31-one-month/

Thank you, will do!

Berea, Ohio, small college town in the southwest suburbs of Cleveland. I'd be willing to drive two hours one way for a "good home" even if that means a responsible person with a stew pot, but we probably want to wait at least another three weeks or until we are sure of sex.

We are beginning to suspect more and more that our little buckeye chick may be a cockerel both from appearance and behavior. It's hard for me to make a judgement just by feathering, as these are our first chicks and all six are different breeds (Buckeye, Dorking, Buff Orpington, Black Copper...

They were all sexed as pullets from Meyer, yes. We'll see.

Adorable chicks and beautiful birds everyone! I find it interesting that Buckeyes seem to be slow to develop tail feathers, ours is two weeks and still just a fluffy bottom (and it looks like the three week olds above are still without) whereas all her brooder sisters have at least some...

Picked up our chicks this afternoon. Little red Buckeye chick on the far right Friendly Buckeye chick next to a very clever and curious sex-link. Sleepy Buckeye, look at that little wing. Looking in the mirror next to a Buff Orp chick.

Thank you for that perspective and the welcome :)

Thank you Sydney Acres for all that great information! I will be sure to share it with my husband as the dorking was his pick ;) We've read two books and lots of articles on raising and brooding chickens and will be taking a class at a local nursery at the end of March, so hopefully we'll be...

Thank you very much for your reply and experience poltroon. I've heard about the cat food and it worries me a bit, I'd rather give them bugs.

Good morning all. I'm relatively new to BYC, joined at the beginning of February. My husband, son and I will be raising our first small flock of hens this spring. We've ordered six chicks from Meyer Hatchery, due to hatch April 7th. We are started off with six individual breeds and went with...
