Description:
Buckeyes are an endangered breed worth preserving! They are also the only chicken breed of the American Class to have been developed by a woman in -- you guessed it -- "The Buckeye State," Ohio. Their coloring is a rich mahogany brown with dark gray tips on their tail feathers.
Buckeyes are especially docile and can go broody. Their relatively large size and small pea combs make them winter layers and very cold hardy. They are fair layers of brown eggs, year round, and have a reputation for being good mousers.
Please note there is a 15-chick maximum on this breed.

Baby Chicks: Buckeye Female
I’m so glad that you all hatch Buckeyes ! They are so friendly and sweet. They follow me around, and if the door is open, they come right into the house. I had one buckeye girl who lived to be 18. They are suited to Maine with their tiny combs and well-feathered bodies. If you haven tried buckeyes… please do ! Also, they’re the only American breed , that was bred initially by a woman ! From Delaware.
Definitely my favorite breed. So glad My Pet Chicken hatches them 💚

Wow, thank you so very much for taking the time to share this wonderful information with us! I also love the Buckeye breed and have 2 hens in my personal flock. They are such sweethearts! I think after people read your comment they will add some Buckeyes to their flocks too.

My only disappointment was I was not permitted to drive just over an hour to get them. They had to spend 2 days in a box.

Thank you, Margo, for taking the time to review your chick order from My Pet Chicken! While we understand how you feel, we do our best to ensure our hatcheries have the highest level of biosecurity precautions which includes not allowing pick up of the chicks. It would just be too dangerous to have customers arriving and possibly exposing our facility, unintentionally, to possible dangers. We hope you understand and always feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. We are happy to help!

Buckeyes are very curious and friendly. Even as chicks you can see the difference from the other breeds. The Buckeyes always tip their heads up to take a look at who is there and what you are doing. A lot of personality in these little chicks.
