The Buckeye Thread

[Shellz]

My computer hadn't loaded the pictures before I made my last comment, but yes, it appears you likely have a lovely little Easter Egger, and with that much wing in already, good chance of being a pullet.  Good luck.

I agree. Will be a future good egg layer.

That's a lovely chick, even if it's not a Buckeye. Keep an eye on it though, you never know.......... Our white chick looks much larger than the Buckeye, but it might be the photo angle. Another breed I am interested in is the Kraienkoppe. They throw white sports once in a while, from what I understand, and it would be very interesting indeed if anybody else knew of a Buckeye sport.

Thanks! Lockdown starts today.

Woo Hoooo!!!!!!!

I have never made it to lockdown yet with my new incubator but maybe 3rd time's the charm.
I'm on day 8 with the Buckeye and Dark Cornish eggs from Shaded. It's incredible how time passes so slowly when there are eggs in the incubator!

Soooo, I really like the two EEs I bought last week, and decided to go back and get another one, and here is what also jumped into my box:







Her name is Ginger, as in Gingersnap, because as soon as I got her home and looked at her, nothing else would do.

Her little EE friend there is named Weetabix.

So can I be in the club now?

 

[CanadianBuckeye]

She's just lovely! (Weetabix LOL!!! I didn't know you could get that in Indianapolis!) Yes of course I am sure I speak for everyone when I say welcome to the club! I'm new here too.

Adorable Finnie!!!

You think time is slow on day 8...it gets slower at lockdown!

The suspense is killing me! Best of luck this time around CanadianBuckeye!

I really liked the hatchery Dark Cornish I had years ago. Beautiful birds but on the small side. I can just imagine that breeder stock would be so much better.

Thanks Shellz.
Any Buckeye pips yet?

 

[Shellz]

Nope, but I'm checking often! I think I saw some wobblers.

I'm guessing I won't see pips until tomorrow at day 20. I've got the eggs upright in cartons as per instructions. I'm curious about a couple eggs with those saddle-shaped air cells. They were still active yesterday when I candled them.

Shellz I am chewing my fingernails in anticipation right here behind you, in the background!
