Hello out there. I am new to the chicken world and raising animals in general. I live in Ellensburg area and was gifted an old chicken tractor in June and 5 chickens in August (Barred Rocks and Buff Orp), then a beautiful Americaune rooster in September. I have wanted to have my own flock and had been thinking about the Buckeyes for a number of reasons when one of my dogs got herself into the chicken area and killed 4 of them. I was worried about the two chickens being in the coop by themselves all winter so I did something crazy and ordered Buckeye chicks the last week of October!! I ordered 12, but the guy sent me 25 I guess for heat or because he new that as a newbe I would be killing them off left and right. Anyway, I had 17 survive in the house until this week when they made it to the big wild world of our garden with thier new adoptive parents, Hoppla and Rico Suave.
Anyhow, Happy New Year to you all.
