Pullet: Buckeye, Shipping Week of

Buckeyes are 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.

Benefits of Purchasing Pullets

• Started pullets are an excellent option for people who don't have the time, equipment, or desire to care for chicks.
• These juvenile chicks are sexed twice, once at hatch and again at six weeks old, which reduces your chance of ending up with roosters.
• The minimum order is just 2 chicks!  

Additional Pullet Information
