I didn't stumble into chicken keeping. I was practically hatched into it.
I grew up with chickens in the yard, feed buckets in the barn, and broody hens determined to hatch eggs in places they absolutely should not have been.
What started as a backyard flock eventually turned into a passion for rare landrace breeds and the history they carry.
The more I learned about these remarkable chickens, the more I realized how many of them were disappearing.
So what began as a love of chickens became something bigger:
A commitment to helping preserve breeds that have survived for generations through resilience, adaptability, and pure determination.
That's how Cluck It All Farms was born.
We believe chickens should be bred for more than appearance.
We believe resilience matters.
We believe genetic diversity matters.
And we believe rare landrace breeds deserve a future.
Our focus is preserving historic breeds that were developed through generations of practical selection, not show-ring trends.
These birds earned their place by surviving, foraging, reproducing naturally, and adapting to the environments around them.
We're simply doing our part to make sure they continue to exist for future generations.
We're a small family farm in Northwest Ohio focused on preserving rare landrace poultry.
Our breeding program includes:
These birds are the heart of what we do.
Every breeding decision is made with long-term preservation in mind.
We're not trying to build the biggest hatchery.
We're not chasing production records.
And we're definitely not breeding for ribbons.
Our goal is simple:
Raise healthy birds, preserve important genetics, and connect these remarkable breeds with people who appreciate them.
Along the way, we'll share what we've learned, celebrate the successes, laugh at the chaos, and occasionally remind people that chickens are far more entertaining than they have any right to be.

Every farm needs a mascot.
Ours just happens to be a rooster with strong opinions.
Clancy serves as our unofficial quality-control manager, professional side-eye specialist, and occasional reminder that chickens do not care about your plans.
Whether you're looking for your first landrace breed or adding to a long-established flock, we're glad you're here.
Thank you for supporting preservation breeding.
Thank you for helping keep these remarkable breeds around for the next generation.
And thank you for giving a cluck.
People lose their minds over blue eggs, green eggs, speckled eggs—basically anything that looks like Dr. Seuss opened an Etsy shop. And hey, we get it. Colorful eggs are cute. They photograph well next to a sourdough loaf and a “fresh from the coop” hashtag.
But here’s the deal: eggs are temporary. Chickens are the real show.
If you’ve ever stood in the poultry aisle wondering, “Do I need all this crap?”—you’re not alone. The supplement shelf has become the Wild West of backyard chicken keeping.
Let’s cut through it. You do need a few basics. You don’t need a drawer full of powders and pellets. And you definitely don’t need to guess.
The sky is that soft blue that means cold. You crack the back door, coffee in one hand, resolve in the other. The flock hears you before you hit the latch—because of course they do. Winter chores aren’t glamorous, but the right little things make them kinder. Here’s our keeper’s walk-through, one stop at a time.
