Pullets will generally lay a bit longer into fall than a hen. For those that aren’t yet laying, they may not until spring. As for Buckeyes, they usually are not heavy layers. However, certain lines have been developed to increase “layability” if you will. You might want to inquire regarding the...

One of the best qualities I have found with my Buckeyes is that the boys are not people aggressive. That went a long way with getting my nephew to enjoy the birds again.

Believe it or not, broody season has begun in northern Indiana and one of my Buckeye hens is the first out of the gate.

180 eggs????

I understand that 5 months is to soon to decide but I can't keep them through the winter so the butcher calls. Regarding the undercolor, they have the bar of slate and I appreciate MCM's efforts in helping me understand the necessity. I learned about the balance of slate versus black as we both...

Sorry about that.

Yes I am.

I'll do you one better than pictures. Videos often work better for me so here we go. Separate videos for each bird: #1 - AND #2 - In the meantime, I wish you all the best for the upcoming year! Bryan

Here are pictures of a hen that I'm keeping. She's a sweetie. Here she is with her WL sister. So much fun!

As you know, getting the two birds you're interested in to pose together is as rare as snow in Oklahoma in July. I don't think that will ever happen again. However, I lost count of their age but are older than 4 months, maybe 5. I'll see what I can do with further pictures. I'm blessed to have...

Change of gears please. I'm looking for my 3rd cock for the winter and can't decide between the two in the following pictures. I've selected the one with the band on his leg but the other looks nice also. I thought I'd post a couple pictures and seek your inputs if you would; please? Bryan...

The questions were in general. As you know, I'm starting to plan for breeding next year and want to get the best foundation down that I can. The question was asked so I could get the most traction for my efforts. As always Theri, you "knocked it out of the park." As an afterthought, I decided to...

Theri, What are your thoughts on the comb? As you know, I have one hen who has a true pea comb. Is this trait dominant coming from her or the cock in regards to the offspring? As, my 3 focuses for my flock are: comb standard size egg production Where do you believe my attention should...

I had an offline discussion with Minnichickmama about him. He's a great bird other than he has no slate. Which is why I believe he is light in color. I've already selected my 3rd boy for this winter so unfortunately, he'll have to go. As for the legs, they have washed out a bit as they were deep...

Change of pace. I have a cockerel I'm considering keeping and would like your thoughts on him. Bryan Thanks for your inputs.

I think your cockerel looks good. The comb is a bit large for my liking and the color feels "blocky" but he looks like a good bird for you.

They are a light tan color. Most of mine are one color but occasionally speckles will show up.

It's a green sheen on black color. It's more pronounced in the direct sunlight. My two roosters have it at nearly 18 months of age.

that's a huge bird. My thought is that he has some non-buckeye in him due to his large size #1 and his color #2. I may be wrong and am open to comments but that's what my inexperienced eye says. I hope someone with more experience will chime in.
