Yay! Got my first egg from my June girls. It is 45 grams (so medium size) and was laid by one of my Golden Buffs. What really surprised me was that it was in the nest box! What a smart girl

Yay! Congrats!

This year in march I ordered buckeye chicks from Meyers Hatchery, Just wanting utility chicks for eggs and meat. As they grew I thought that they looked good so In my advertising campaign I was going to put them in the NEA DISTRICT here in Arkansas, Did not like the idea of leaving them for a week but I took 2 cockerels and 3 pullets up there just for advertising, had to inter them as large breed open class so I was competing against every large breed there which was about 650 chickens I was in the rabbit barn and the secretary came to me and told me that I had won GRAND CHAMPION, I was excited for that Being my first time showing, she told me that he was still looking for best of show. A few minutes later she came to me and told me that He had place my buckeyes as BEST OF SHOW SO just like a little kid I was jumping up and down with excitement. So a first time show with first time raising buckeye chickens I was very blessed to achieve what I did. And my advertising campaign worked, with orders of chicks and hatching eggs for Buckeye. I am selling as Utility Buckeye chickens because there is a lot more work that needs to be done before I can compete with the true Buckeye

You had truly wonderful results. Congratulations! They are beautiful birds, perhaps you don't have as much work to do as you profess. But what do I know ?

He is a beautiful boy! Love those buckeyes of yours. I'll have to look into those Meyer buckeyes in a year or two.

I guess until I actually see her lay the egg I won't know but they are 32 weeks old now so I would assume she is laying. But there's a weeee little hope left for a green egg. I didn't know Pepper nipped at you too. That's one of your BR's?

Yup, Pepper is one of my BR's, she is one of the ones that did not get hurt. She is sweet otherwise, guess those are love bites. But they hurt and I have small red spots on my legs from where she bites me. Glad that I was not wearing shorts!

The igloo with nest box attached to the side,

I think Sunni wins the most spoiled chicken contest on this Meyer forum. I hope that she does well with her new home. I'd be interested to hear how those diapers work out.

Nice egg, nice dark brown too. How many weeks was she?
