Chicken spotlight: Buckeye

The Buckeye should not be confused with the Rhode Island Red, even though they share some history. Buckeyes are unique in their body shape: slanted, short but broad back, very meaty thighs, powerful wings and breast.

In color the Buckeye is also unique. The color of the Buckeye is darker than that of the original Rhode Island Red. The Buckeye also has a slate colored bar in the under color (fluff) of its back. Both breeds share the trait of tight feathering, unique in the American Class of poultry.

The Buckeye is a dual-purpose breed of chicken. They have yellow legs and skin, and, thanks to their bright red pea comb, are very cold-weather hardy. They have a red face, wattles, and earlobes, reddish-bay eyes, and a yellow beak shaded with reddish horns. Hens weigh approximately 6½ lbs., and lay medium-to-large sized, brown eggs. Buckeyes are selectively bred for laying ability and may produce 175-240 eggs per year! Hens can go broody and are good mothers.

Buckeyes also have a personality all their own. They are a very active fowl and are noted for being especially vigilant in the pursuit of mice, some breeders comparing them to cats in this ability. They tend to have very little fear of humans and are possibly too friendly. The males emit a full range of sounds beyond those typical of many other chicken breeds, including a dinosaur-like roar!
