American Livestock Breed Conservancy

American Livestock Breed Conservancy raises Buckeye chickens in Siler City, NC, Central North Carolina near Raleigh. They maintain detailed lineage records and follow health screening protocols recognized by major poultry associations, ensuring each hatch is monitored for vitality and genetic diversity.

Birds are rotated through fenced pastures each day to encourage natural foraging behaviors, and coops are cleaned daily with straw bedding replaced to support healthy feet and plumage. Daily human interaction begins at hatching to help the flock develop calm temperaments and ease handling during health checks or breeding evaluations. The Berangers have long emphasized heritage breed preservation, collaborating with local schools and community groups to share knowledge of traditional livestock care and sustainable farming.

Conservation efforts led by this team contribute to broader initiatives aimed at protecting rare poultry genetics. Many local breeders praise the clear breeding records and gentle nature of their Buckeye stock.
