Buckeye Chicken.

It all began with the Buckeyes. Spring of 2012 after countless research we set our sites on the Buckeye’s. We started with just 6 chickens. Over the years we have striven to improve our flock with the APA standard of perfection. We have won Champion American at shows with our Buckeyes.

Buckeyes are a Heritage breed and listed on the watch schedule with the Livestock Conservancy. The Buckeye is a dual-purpose breed of chicken with a deep, lustrous red color of plumage. They have yellow legs and skin, and, thanks to their pea comb, are very cold-weather hardy. While Buckeyes adapt readily to a variety of living conditions, they do best under free-range conditions or conditions where they have room to move around. Because of their active nature they do not do especially well in small confined spaces. Roosters weigh approximately nine pounds; hens weigh approximately six and a half pounds and lay medium-sized, brown eggs.
