I am so bummed out! Two of my young chickens got killed by a hawk today, one was still alive as the hawk flew away with it:'(

I got my eggs from Soggy Bottom Farm today with several extras. Thanks! They're all nice and clean and ready to hatch! I can't wait to see the little chicks.

For you Buckeye breeders out there... how often so single combs show up?

I was admiring my 4 when I noticed the incorrect comb on the little roo.

Did you get your incubator working again?

We have yet to get any with single combs. Rumor has it some hatcheries used Production Reds (RIR) to increase their quanity of Buckeyes. I would not use a male with a single comb. But you should be able to find an extra male. JenScott had about 25 extras this season. Not sure how many extras we will have.

I hatched these from Jen's eggs. I'll probably just sell them off, now.

Oh, well. Someone will be glad to add them to their layer flock.

No, it's fried. Wish I knew anything about electronics.

All of mine came from Jen's eggs as well and we have yet to geta single comb. Hmmm. A "friend" told me a few minutes ago that she would send you for the cost of shipping a free Buckeye male. PM me for the info. That would give you a good trio.

Not sure whay you got a single comb? Heard some nice lines have gotten a few. They have dumplins, etc when that happens.
