BUCKEYES FOR BUCKEYES in OHIO

I'm getting a ton of eggs right now, I always feed them extra protein and have the light turn on at midnight. Yesterday I got 27 eggs out of 35 laying hens. I understand that they will typically lay 180 a year, which is a little less than a RIR.

I have to warn you, these birds are very endearing, they are low maintenance, they handle confinement well, they don't pick or fight often, good egg production, ravenous foragers, and I have not yet had a buckeye attack my self or my kids! Truly an amazing breed, with some great traits that will hopefully keep them from becoming extinct.

My local post office has been alerted and they will call me to come pick up my eggs when they arrive.

I'm not sure this post is constitutional. Sounds like discrimination to me since I live in SC. LOL
