Sonburst Farm

Sonburst Farm, Buckeye chickens, Salisbury, NC, offers a heritage breeding program in Rowan County and the Piedmont near Charlotte. They participate in poultry association events and maintain clear records of lineage and health checks.

They have been raising Buckeye chickens for several years, selecting for sound genetics and hardy health through careful record-keeping. Each flock enjoys daily pasture access and secure nighttime housing, with a balanced diet of grains, fresh greens and supplemental protein. Coops meet recommended spacing guidelines, nesting boxes are cleaned daily and a local veterinarian conducts routine flock check-ups.

Regular handling helps chicks grow accustomed to human interaction and lays the foundation for calm temperaments. Their flocks are known locally for consistent winter laying and suitability as dual-purpose birds. Many homesteaders have noted the farm’s clear communication during the breeding season and the detailed care instructions provided with each chick.
