The Buckeye Thread

[ahollnd036]

Hi, are there any Buckeye breeders around Arkansas that are selling chicks or hatching eggs right now?

All I know is that all my buckeyes are confirmed layers, so given statistical probability I WON THE BUCKEYE LOTTERY.. SWEET !!!

Very lucky indeed! I have 7 pullets and 14 cockerels (separated them).

I'm trying to decide between the cockerels. And how many to keep.

Hi Amy. Jeff Lay may be talked into sending some hatching eggs. Most breeders have stopped hatching this time of year to allow the hens to molt and rebuild their stamina for hatching season.

I'll PM you information

Good afternoon Buckeye Nation. The buckeye club is going to have a table at the Ohio Nationals this year on Nov 7-9. The table will have someone at it the entire show. We'll have pamphlets covering the history of the buckeye breed as observed through Nettie Metcalf's eyes, items for purchase to support the club, as well as Buckeyes (that delicious little peanut butter treat) for anybody that enjoys the sweeter things in life. Stop by the Buckeye table and ask the ladies for Jeff or Joe. I look forward to meeting everyone that can attend the show.

I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun. Maybe even more fun than we usually have there.

Hello all buckeye enthusiasts Myself and other fellow breed enthusiasts will have a place at the Ohio Nationals this year on Nov 7-9. This years show is going to be a big one and I am excited to be a part of it!! There will be pamphlets covering the history of the buckeye breed as observed through Nettie Metcalf's eyes, as well as DARK red Buckeyes (that delicious little peanut butter treat but with a breed colored shell) for anybody that enjoys the sweeter things in life. Stop by and ask for Joe....I'll be happy to take the time with you to talk about this great breed!! I look forward to meeting everyone that can attend the show.

I just want to say a big Thank You to everyone at BYC and every single person who posted on this thread. The BUCKEYE has made a huge comeback over the last few years. It is people like you that are making this happen. Just normal people who enjoy this wonderful breed. No question is a bad question. Please continue to contribute pictures, experiences, and anything related to buckeyes(as long as it is within the rules of byc). I for one plan to have this breed on my farm until I can't walk out to "chicken village" any longer. And I plan to be here to help and learn right along with the rest of you until then too.

Oh and I can't wait for two more weeks until the ON. This is going to be the biggest show in the country this year. It's the 100th anniversary of the ABA. It's a big deal in the poultry world. Whether you are a Master Exhibitor, a new breeder, just a backyard hobbyist, or never seen a chicken in your life but like them none the less, this is the show to go to. We are going to have so much FUN!!!
