Buckeye Breed Thread

[Chickielady]

I have been selling all my eggs, medium to jumbo, in a mixed carton, as long as the 12 eggs reach the desired weight.
My customers get the biggest kick out of the assorted colors, blue, green, pale brown, dark brown & chocolate brown.
It almost looks like I need a white egg in there....

Buckeyes-R-Us-----Hello Jeff....nice to see you on here.

I believe I have some of your Buckeye eggs I purchased from eBay in my incubator right now (rmssilva on ebay) and am VERY excited about them

I candled yesterday and had only one egg with no development....so now just have to pace a hole in the floor waiting for day 21 and

on April 7th!

If anyone reading this forum knows of anyone who purchased a cage of Buckeyes at the K&L swap meet on Feb 26-27 (Southern Kansas), it is *very important* that I make contact with them.

This may seem like a shot in the dark, but please humor me... if you know or hear of any new, proud Buckeye owners in the Sunflower State.

Thanks - exop

Why do you need to contact them?

 

[exop]

They are the last birds of a noteworthy flock, which might otherwise be lost to history. If I or someone else can't persuade the new owners to sell a few birds or hatching eggs, at least I can talk to them about their purchase, so they can understand the treasure they have... and hopefully take good care of the birds, breed them and perpetuate the line.

Best - exop

WORD OF CAUTION!!!!!

The moderators have already closed several Orpington threads because of drama coming from other forums. Please do not allow the drama to get started here.

So lets just ignore those who intend harm to this thread and move on.
