Double B Poultry

Double B Poultry breeds Buckeye chickens in Swanton, OH, Fulton County and the Maumee Valley near Toledo. Its parent stock undergoes routine health screenings and follows guidelines from national poultry associations.

Chicks are fed a balanced, non-GMO diet and grow in mixed-age groups on pasture with access to ventilated shelters during colder months. Daily handling and varied foraging opportunities help develop calm temperaments and strong immune responses. As Ohio’s official state poultry, Buckeye chickens at Double B Poultry are selected for cold hardiness and reliable egg production rather than ornamental traits.

Bill Boone has focused on preserving heritage characteristics through careful breeding records and selective pairing. This blend of traditional husbandry and attentive flock management supports birds suited to backyard enthusiasts and small-scale farms alike. The flock has earned recognition at local agricultural fairs with birds judged according to breed standards.
