Bryan K., Oliver of the Dominique Club of America sent these old pictures from the Reliable Poultry Journal of July, 1914 of the Buckeye breed. He also informed me of a new Yahoo group, Buckeye Breeders, http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=42879/*http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BuckeyeBreeders.
Poultry breeders are often far-flung in rural areas, so Internet groups are a useful way to make contact. Thank you, Bryan.

Great Pics. Hope you can help me find a pair of Buckeyes to start a flock. I plan to free range feed, and want to help keep the old and rare breed chickens alive. Thanks
Where are you, Braided Lady? Email me at christine.heinrichs@gmail.com and I shall find you some contacts.
Glad to find this blog and loved the old pics of the Buckeyes -- Have just started a small flock in Arkansas. The chicks seem to be as lively as promised. They were actively chasing (and catching) crickets at age of 4-5 days! Will be writing about them on my garden blog soon...
