We also have 5 hens but they are only average size. One is a Silkie and is bantam size. The Ameracaunas are not that big. If it lookjs like the grid is going down I’ll run out and get some Buckeyes. :-)
If you love home made fried chicken,it is hard to find 2.5 to 3 lb fryers. The one pound or more breasts are tough and tasteless. We cut them up and pound them out and marinate in lemon juice.
We have raised several different breeds over the years but always come back Golden Comets. They have a tremendous personality and love to talk to you. I have one that sits on my shoulder and thinks she is parrot.
GG2, come on over to our house. We have over 100 buckeyes the Mrs made last week. We were hoping to enjoy them tomorrow but the football team forgot to show up against Clemson.
