No Kev, Buckeyes have pea combs. EDIT...but I like walnut, rose and other combs.
My daughter Ariel is the 'mommy' and I'm sure she is far more likely to take pics than I or either of my sons. I'll ask her to take a few since she spends hours with them. These chicks and the new Florida W. bunnies keep her smiling and considering her condition when she got here, it makes me smile too!!! lolol
I have just a bit of fear (apprehension) that these could turn into pigs, like the CornishX but then I just think for a second and realize it a whole different ball game. But, these almost have to be large birds and large appetites shouldn't be a surprise...lol
And ...EDIT to Arielle: American Rare breed Dog Assn.

Arielle...Chicken feet. There's not much meat on them but I like the taste of the little wad of meat that is in the center of the foot. As for skinning, that would be very hard...except...when the feet are scalded and the outer layer is removed, that's tantamount to skinning, in my way of thinking.
I like them for the meat but especially for seasoning and that jell is very important to help flavor soups...at least in my household. The little piece of meat tastes like gizzard but not quite as strong.
Breed? Mountain Cur.
I have SS. The eggs are a bit darker than what they look here, but I also get some that are lighter. I'd say I get 4-5 eggs/week. I only have 8 hens right now. I'm really excited though, because I'm getting some large and extra large eggs. They typically lay medium eggs. I have 12 in the bator and my criteria was 2 oz and over. I had 2, 2 1/8 and 2 1/4 oz eggs. I'm hoping this will be the start of getting my SS up to a better size. I don't handle my birds a lot, but they are all pretty friendly.Can't remeber who had the speck. Sussex. On this thread. But I'm curious as to how they turned out in regards to production. Egg quality, color and lay ability.
I'm getting ready to order replacement pullets and wanted something different to go along with my commercial layers. But want something that will produce a lot of eggs
Whoops.. I get them mixed up with chanteclers.. dual purpose North American breeds that aren't single combed.
Aww, anything that keeps her happy, right!
Some birds/lines are pigs as chicks but calm down once mature. Hope those chicks learn table manners when older. I cannot stand permanent pigs either...!
Curious about that dog- don't recognize breed either but do note it's obviously well bred...
Kev, the Mountain Cur is a very old breed. This breed is the result of various terriers and Fiest type dogs that likely intermingled with the Native American dogs. The most famous breed that came out of this admixture is the Plott Cur, originating in the mountains of North Carolina by the German immigrant woods people/farmers/hunters who brought their dogs with them. They were then and even unto now, the best bear dogs in the world.
They were called Plott Curs until 1946 when UKC recognized the breed and several people with MONEY added hound and the Plott Hound was born...lolol But, many folks around here still breed Cur type and still call them Plott Curs.
I raised the dog in the picture and he was a great bear and bobcat dog...as well as the first 'Mt. Cur' registered with UKC. He sired many good hunting dogs that were used on bear, coon and hogs. His name was Cosmo...
Sounds like my kinda dog! Congrats on raising and breeding a nice dog.
When I moved out here, it was still very rural, varmints and predators were around in abundance. The terrier type dog I had was invaluable- he was so merciless on the ground squirrels, gophers, any rodents plus gray foxes and even treed a couple bobcats and told me me to "get 'em!". He was also the only dog I had that would go after any skunk and rarely get really sprayed.. By being a great terrier type dog, he truly saved a lot of my birds- and probably kept me interested because otherwise I might have totally given up in frustration because as you know once a predator gets in, they do massive amounts of damage..... so disheartening. I did have to give up on waterfowl as not long after this dog passed on, a bobcat wiped out all my muscovies and geese in one night....
I should hunt around for a picture and get it scanned to see what he might have been. He looked like a mixed breed to me but some people would stop me and get all excited over seeing an American rat terrier and his tail was docked.. not terribly likely most mixed breed owners would dock their pups?
With this one dog I fully realized how valuable a GOOD dog is on a farm....... Miss him tons.
