Buckeye

Pictures From Spring Valley

Buckeye

This beautiful bird is named Buckeye because of its rich brown color. It looks quite majestic in this picture, but I think it's trying to hide the fact that it's comb is bent over, giving it a silly, floppy look. In fact, it's a mischievous bird, always first to the food scraps and first to fly over the fence. However, it has a good heart, since it allows Chestnut, the hen on the bottom of the pecking order, to tag along behind it.
