I have been considering adding the Buckeye's to my flock, hoping that the dark red coloring would blend into the prairie and reduce predator losses. I have tried various colored birds, I really liked the Delaware breed, but that white stood out like a flag of surrender.
I thought with what I read, that these were active hunters, that they might be a bit more aware...... but many of you are posting about predator losses. I understand about predator losses, I have fed a lot of them.
So in your experience, about the same as other breeds, or worse or better? I have had good luck with my BO's, I have lost a few, but not as many as others. And with the EE's, thought maybe the Buckeye would be an advantage, but I have read a lot of this thread, and it does not seem so?
