How endangered are Buckeyes?

A. I don’t think anyone honestly knows, I have some, many other people have some, I don’t think anyone will ever know how many their truly are, this is what the experts say. From the ALBC website: Status: Critical From WikiPedia: “As of 2008, Buckeyes are extremely rare, and breed conservation organizations have recognized them as critically endangered…However, largely due its lack of color variations, the Buckeye has never been an especially popular exhibition breed. Not adopted by commercial operations, the Buckeye has generally been a bird of smaller farm flocks. Today, it is listed as critically endangered by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, as there are estimated to be five or fewer flocks, with no more than 500 breeding birds. The breed is also included in the Slow Food USA Ark of Taste, a catalog of heritage foods in danger of extinction.
