We have a baker's dozen of Buckeyes here in Weston, WV, our very first chickens.
I was astonished at how smart and personable they are--the chickens I remember from my girlhood were kind of surly and dumb, but these guys are really amusing. They're free-range, although the weather's been so crummy here that we've kept them in more often than not. Right now they're in an outbuilding that has access from the house, we started building them a proper coop but the weather turned nasty just after we got the cement anchors poured.
The chickens are now six months old, and it looks like we didn't get any boys at all, so if any of you are raising Buckeyes semi-near me, in the spring, I'd love to arrange to purchase/trade a rooster or two.
