Buckeye Breed Thread

Not as fast as the commercial hybrids, but not as slow as some of the larger breeds like Langshans. About "medium" I'd say.

Normally I start hatching as early as December, but after last year's big ice storm in Feb (see these pics: http://pathfindersfarm.com/Icestorm09.html) and the bad weather we just kept having this year, I waited, as I didn't want to lose a big hatchfull.

Nicole standing in our "new" brooder house with a Buckeye about 6 weeks old. She was thrilled to catch this Buckeye all by herself! Not certain if is actually catching if it walks into your hands.

Just wondering if anyone here has gotten Buckeyes from Meyer hatchery? I wanted to start out small here, so I have 5 hens and a rooster due to ship June 28th. I would like to have ordered from BuckeyeDave, but I just don't need 25 chicks, and not knowing how many will be roosters? Any pictures of Meyer Buckeyes? Thanks!

I ship as little as 12 in May! But do not feel comfortable shipping less due to loss during shipping.

Not much talk on his thread the last couple days so thought I would say something. If memory serves me right there was a picture of Meyer's Buckeyes on this thread a while back or maybe it was Ideal I don't really know I guess.

I saw my first adult Buckeye rooster ever last Sat. I went to a auction and he was there you could tell he was a Buckeye but couldn't come close to the pictures I've seen on this thread.
