We may have to talk later. If one of mine goes broody I may have to come get some eggs. I just can't see hatching polish=butters.

Who know's they might be cute? but I doubt it.

Do you guys have any up-close photos of a Buttercup comb? I'd love to use one for my BYC comb page.

I have a one year old buttercup hen. she lays a small white egg daily. Two weeks ago, she decided to go broody, and WHAT A GROUCH!!!! She literally sounds like a chattering squirrel when i remove her from the nest to get the eggs that the others have layed around and over her. she just started to leave the nest box to eat this past weekend.

Are they good layers?

I want to know too. Mine should be starting anytime.

Mine one year old lays daily, small-medium white egg.

How big do these guys get

These sound like wonderful birds. I would love to have a few.

Thanks for introducing me to this breed. I have never heard of them before!

I could use a good white egg to add to all of my coloreds.

Did I overlook how big the eggs are?

Again, thank you all for sharing!

I have four hens and one roo, about seven months old. no pics, but they are pretty. The roo's big comb makes him scary looking, lol.

I just saw this post, and my friend CloudCat is getting Buttercups from Cackle in just a few days!! I will probably be getting some, as they had to get like 15, and they dont' have enough room for all of those.
