They are unique in that they are the only breed of chickens created entirely by a woman, Nettie Metcalf of Warren Ohio. Buckeyes body shape is also unique: slanted, short but broad back, very meaty thighs, powerful wings and breast. They are a very active and noted for their vigilant pursuit of mice, some compare them to cats due to this ability. The males produce a range of sounds including a dinosaur-like roar. They have little fear of humans and are possibly too friendly.  They produce 240 large brown eggs per year.
