Buckeye Breeders Directory

Shumaker Farms Champion Cockerel
The American Buckeye Club Breeders Directory is offered as a FREE service for both breeders and the public to help improve and increase the Buckeye population around the USA & Canada.

BUCKEYE breeders are sorted by state beginning with their home state of OHIO & then alphabetically there after. Hatcheries are listed in blue!

A Note On "Hatcheries":  Hatcheries are just that, large poultry businesses that may breed and sell a variety of fowl, including Buckeyes.  They are not in the business of providing the best quality birds in terms of show quality or meeting the APA "Standard of Perfection", but their birds are generally very affordable. Though some hatcheries have been selling Buckeyes for many years, possibly decades, we have created a separate category for hatcheries due to the special nature of their business. If you are considering purchasing birds from a hatchery, we encourage you to inquire about VACCINATION. Some will offer that service and some will not.  If you just want some Buckeye backyard pets, egg layers and don’t care about their origin, or about getting the highest quality breeding stock, a hatchery may be an ideal place to purchase inexpensive Buckeye fowl.

Buckeye Strain: Since we are interested in the preservation of the Buckeye breed, it is often helpful to know what strain of birds (or genetic makeup) the Buckeyes we are purchasing originated from. The information provided in this listing is provided by the breeders.

A backslash ("/") between strains indicates the strains have been combined.  Strains listed without a backslash are available as pure strains from the breeder.  For example, a breeder that shows they are working with "ALBC/Brown, Urch, and ALBC" is indicating that they have pure Urch and ALBC strains available as well as a strain derived from a combination of ALBC and Brown.

In some cases, the exact origin of the Breeder's line is unknown. This does not mean the birds provided by the breeder are not wonderful examples of the breed, it only means that details of its genetic heritage are unknown. 

For the purposes of this page, we use the APA definition of "strain" which is as follows: "A family of any variety of fowls bred in line by descent by one fancier, or a successor, during a number of years, that has acquired individual characteristics which distinguish it more or less from other strains or specimens of the same variety."

Please note we use the terms "strain" and "line" interchangeably on this site.

NPIP Certification: The National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) was established in the early 1930's to eliminate the spread of infectious diseases among poultry breeders and processing facilities. Breeders with a NPIP number maintain their facilities to meet NPIP standards and allow random State inspections to certify their poultry and poultry products are free of contagious disease.

Breeder Inclusion in the Directory: If you are a Buckeye breeder you can be added to this directory for FREE by contacting Jeff Lay @ (jefflay4686@gmail.com) with your name, mailing address, e-mail address, website, phone number, and what you offer for sale (such hatching eggs, chicks, adult birds).  If you participate in the NPIP, please also provide your NPIP number. In addition, please provide information about your "strain" if you know where they came from. For example, let us know if your strain is from "Brown", "Urch", "ALBC", or "Hatchery” lines and if it originated from a hatchery let us know which hatchery. If you don’t know the strain, simply state “strain unknown”.   Buckeye breeders who do not wish to identify their strain will be listed as "strain unknown” following the line “Breeder since 20XX”.

Note: The ABC reserves the right to remove the contact information of ANY breeder at ANY time.



Ohio Breeders are listed first, then all other states appear in 
alphabetical order.  
(Breeders outside the United States are listed after USA Breeders)
