Buckeye Chickens, Heritage Breed at "The Grove"


      Here is our gorgeous Buckeye Chickens that grace the presence of our Sugar Grove Eco Village in Sugar Grove, OH. We have one Rooster who is still an amazing presence despite his age! He will be around to brood the next round of Bird after these Hen's. Who... say it quietly... (are not laying at the time). You know what that means. Well new people for Mr. B to meet come spring! =)
     We have chosen this breed of chicken due to the fact it is a heritage breed native to Ohio. Breed by an early Ohioan who acclimated them to our climate and micro-climates which form Eco-systems that supply unique bugs which cause a natural herd grazing mentality that had them here there and everywhere then home to their comfort zone we have provided at night. ( as seen in previous blog ). 
    Seen here being naughty and getting into my organic open pollinated wheat grass seed I planted not long ago. Not happy and laying down thanks to the chickens.
