Looks like you have quite a few there, James! How many do you have? Have you had them long?

Buckeyes are dual purpose, right? Have you processed any? They are really nice size!

I just got started with buckeyes last spring and was fortunate to live so close to Chris and one of his good friends and my good friend Roy who is rnau on BYC.All together there are about 16 laying hens and I have 4 roo's at my place.Three are from these birds and another is the roo I am using now that Chris is loaning me.I am to close to my birds to process them.If I cull I do so by selling or trading.If I want chicken I go to the KFC.

That is too funny James! KFC But I do understand.

I hope the 3 weeks go by fast! Do you start your chicks out on 30% right away?

Ya know, another one of the reasons I like them ... because they are Heritage, on the endangered list, listed as, "critical!"

I like the idea of working on the heritage breeds!

I want to join....I want to join!!!!

I set 20 B/B/S Bantam Ameracaunas...did I spell that right....anyway, I set them at 7:00 this morning!!!! I made a new incubator and have been running it for the past week. It seems to be holding temp and hum perfectly, so I am crossing my fingers and praying all works out. I can't wait!!!

Good luck all!!!!

I sure wish I could figure out how to make an incubator! That is so cool. Yes please join. I want to see lots of pics, what color are the eggs? Blue, green...?

I just set eggs, too, so I'm in! No Buckeyes, though. Lotsa Rocks, both Barred and BBS, plus Ameraucanas (two color varieties, both Wheaten/Blue Wheaten and BBS ones), BBS Orps (for joletabey to get Ultrasuede a wifey or two) and a couple Black Plymouth Rock/Wheaten Marans crosses. 43 eggs in all. One of the BBS Ameraucanas had a crackle in the shell that we painted melted parrafin wax over, then put wax paper on so it wouldn't stick in the turner, so hope that one does okay.
