Shoalwater Kennel

Shoalwater Kennel Buckeye chickens in Conneautville, PA, serves Crawford County and the Lake Erie region near Erie. Shoalwater Kennel has been breeding Buckeye chickens for several years with guidance from the American Poultry Association and regular veterinary health screenings.

The flock lives in secure coops with daily outdoor access on family farmland, and each chick is gently handled from hatch to support calm, friendly behavior. Birds receive a balanced diet and routine vaccinations to promote strong growth and vibrant plumage.
