Buckeye Breed Thread

[ocap]

I had not whacked the weeds in my run and the chickens were cleaning only half the run, when I finally had time to whack the high weeds I found a garter snake, the chicks didn't want anything to do with the snake.

Adults would have eaten your snake, I am sure! Mine play "chicken football" with any snakes they catch.

mice and rats are trouble at my place ... which is why I encourage snakes, but when the hens free range.... I don't see my snakes !

Adults - of course. Snakes can eat the wee ones.

Since I will loose my snakes - I have to beef up the buckeye number !

I saw a picture on another thread of a Cornish hen with a huge rat that she had killed. I think it was posted by Walt.

Hello Everyone.......Here is a great story of buckeyes finally coming home to the old Metcalf farm. Please read and pass around to all of your buckeye friends. It is clearly a historical event. Also old maps and pictures of the old homestead as well. Every buckeye friend should understand how cool this is.

That is neat. Do you know if any of the other current tract holders are going to get Buckeyes too?
