Buckeye Breed Thread

[cgmccary]

the punkster: . . . well I am probably going to get buckeye bantams and breed them instead of the LF (so I can breed more birds in general)

You're not abandoning LF Buckeyes forever, are you buddy? When you get out on your own & have a farm, you're gonna get LF again aren't you?

Laura's got some nice Bantams. I saw a trio she acquired from Duane Urch, and she had others from various sources.​

I'd be interested in seeing some pictures, if you have them, of the cross.

I have noticed some people selling buckeyes have strains with combs other than pea combs. Is there a rose comb genetic in the buckeye breed or should I stay away from these breeders? Most of them seem to have lines from names I have seen on this thread but I want to make sure I am getting Buckeyes. Based on the pictures this is the only difference I see in their birds.

What do you mean? they may be RIR?​

Here is a hatchery selling some buckeyes without peacombs.

Does anyone know if Welp Hatcherys Buckeyes are anything close to show quality? And what strain are they?

those are buckeye but they just don't have the best pea combs but those are pea combs
