Buckeye Breed Thread

[Chipper]

I hope ya's all have a great hatch.I just hatched out 6 out of 10 from rnau's eggs last night.I was hoping a couple more would hatch out,but still,that's not to bad for shipped eggs.
Now the fun part starts with growing them out and seeing what I've got.I'm really liking these Buckeyes so far and I think in the future I will like them even more.

Actually, in my experience, hatching six chicks out of ten shipped eggs is an excellent ratio.

That's right .I remember reading that somewhere.Probably on this thread.They both look very nice.My roo looks more like the one coming from you.It could just be the picture.You and Chris have very nice birds.My birds are 100% Chris's line.I have some chicks growing from Laura.

I'm hoping for chicks from Laura and Chris but they don't like me sooooo they say..... no chicks for you!

I never!

Talk to me a bit later in the year. If I have an extra Urch cockerel, do you want one?

This is a little bit off topic. Last night I was watching the History channel. They showed how they made buckeye candy. The end product looked just like the buckeye nut or the color of the chicken. It really looked good, guess I've never seen that candy before.

Yep, they're great. And fun to make with the kiddos too!

That's not off topic, it says buckeye thread.

He told me that, you're certainly welcome! They come from the tree in front of my grandfather's farmhouse. I have a big bowl of them that I collected when my grandmother died, and have been trying to remember to include one with eggs I ship out (but sometimes I forget, so I'm glad Chris gave you some!)

Don’t eat those, they aren’t tasty at all.
