The Buckeye chicken, appropriately developed in Ohio ("The Buckeye State") 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. Roosters weigh approximately nine pounds; hens weigh approximately six and a half pounds and lay medium-sized, brown eggs. They should not be confused with the similar-in-appearance Rhode Island Red.
We are a small family poultry farm. We have guineas, 5 breeds of chickens, and 2 breeds of turkeys. We hatch our own eggs and raise all our own birds. We sell farm fresh brown eggs all year long. Our chickens consist of 3 heritage breeds: Delawares, Buckeyes, and Barred Rocks; also Buff Orpingtons (an English breed) and Araucanas (the "Easter egg chickens"). We also raise and sell our Narragansett turkeys (a heritage breed) for the Thanksgiving holiday.

At the same time we are striving to institute sustainable farming practices and be good stewards of the land we share use of. We have several innovative programs currently underway. One involves using free range chickens as the foundation of out pest management program.
