Cross Gable Farms

Cross Gable Farms is a Buckeye chicken breeder in Creola, OH, Southern Ohio near Columbus. Mark Chevalier has overseen its flock for several years, following recognized poultry health guidelines and routine wellness screenings that help maintain strong, vibrant birds. The farm maintains clean, raised coops and all-weather run spaces, and Chevalier balances feed rations to support both growth and lifelong vitality.

Chicks are introduced to daily handling early on so they become accustomed to human interaction, and mature hens enjoy free-range access when weather permits. This hands-on approach supports calm temperaments and consistent egg laying, hallmarks of the Buckeye breed’s well-known resilience. Cross Gable Farms also conserves the heritage traits that once made Buckeyes a favorite among early American poultry keepers. Reviews frequently mention the birds’ hardiness through seasonal changes and the farm’s patient guidance on coop setup and nutrition. The rural setting blends pasture and forest edges, giving chickens varied terrain that reflects the breed’s origins in Ohio’s rolling hills.
