Which boxes do you use for those, if I may ask?

My Accidental Rooster

I had a pullet that started setting last fall after I had only gotten a few eggs. She sat pretty well at first but it didn't last long. I decided to candle the eggs and there was one that I hatched out in the incubator. He has become really the only pet chicken I have (I was really hoping for a hen,) He has grown into a nice young cockerel for his age, and I was looking at him thinking he really was coming along nicely. I looked on his back for the first time and lo and behold, some of the nicest slate barring on his back feathers I have seen. I sure hope he turns out to be a keeper. What are the chances for an accidental rooster?

Have two buckeye bantam, going to sell if I can't find a rooster.

Just went into lockdown with 9 buckeye eggs (including 2 possible clears) and tossed 5 definite clears...

Good Luck with your hatch. I'm excited about the peeps that are due next month from my breeder.

Anyone have a pic of a Buckeye hen with chicks? Would love to see that.


*Okay, after looking through 110 pages of this thread, I have found 2 pictures of beautiful buckeye hens and their chicks.

I am in love with the Buckeye...once again. I'm going to go read the issue of BYP that has an article about them.

I agree that Backyard Poultry is worth every penny. I have every issue from the start. I read them cover to cover and slip them into yearly binbers for reference. It's amazing how much new information one can find in it's pages.

The 25, as long as it's above 50 degrees they usually do well, always with a heat pack.
