Frog Haven Farm

Frog Haven Farm, Buckeye chickens, Salkum, WA, Lewis County near Olympia, has been breeding heritage birds with care. Barbara Judd has raised Buckeye chickens for several seasons and aligns her operation with standards set by poultry associations, including routine vet checks and health screenings for each new hatch. The birds enjoy free-range pasture time under covered shelters that are cleaned daily, and they are gently socialized from hatch to foster calm temperaments around people and other animals.

The farm emphasizes sustainable practices, using heirloom feed blends to support hardy, balanced temperaments. Buckeye chickens here are known for consistent egg laying and rust-red plumage that holds up well in varied weather.

Visitors often note the calm nature of the flock and the transparency of the farm’s small-scale operations. Community members value these dual-purpose birds for their friendly dispositions and reliable productivity.
