Rachael Toombs

Rachael Toombs specializes in a variety of poultry breeds in Charleston, West Virginia, on the Appalachian Plateau. She has more than ten years of breeding experience and follows American Poultry Association standards to support genetic health and vitality in each flock. Birds are raised in free-range pastures with shelter access, rotated daily to encourage natural foraging and reduce soil-borne diseases.

The farm began as a backyard project in 2012 and gradually expanded to include multiple heritage and exhibition breeds. Birds are fed a balanced mix of non-GMO grains with organic supplements to support steady growth and robust health. Each flock undergoes routine health screenings and record keeping to track lineage and well-being. Careful attention to nutrition, biosecurity, and enrichment ensures a low-stress environment for the birds. The property includes controlled predator fences and temperature-monitored coops for safety and comfort through changing seasons.
