And hey folks, for some really good information about learning to see what makes up a Buckeye, check out the CSU, Chicken State University Thread here on BYC, which is currently focusing on the Buckeye: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/732985/csu-chicken-state-university-large-fowl-sop/610

Start at message #613 and work your way onwards, great info there with some wonderful photos too!

Didn't know if everyone in this thread knew about that one.

We are expecting our first (Urch) Buckeye chicks in a few weeks and have been following this thread with interest. I have read the SOP and am also following the Buckeye discussion over on the CSU thread. We've had a mixed layer flock for a while, but new to breeding. Understanding that we should select for type first: What are some obvious first season things you cull for? What traits should be given more time to develop before deciding? Thanks!
