Reviving Heritage Poultry in North Texas: Our Mission at Wise County Chicken Farm

 

Nestled in the heart of Paradise, Texas—just a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town in Wise County—our family is on a mission to bring back something special: the beauty, resilience, and quality of heritage poultry.

At Wise County Chicken Farm, raising chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese isn’t just a business—it’s a way of life rooted in generations of knowledge and care. Our passion started with our family. My great-grandmother raised turkeys, and today, I’m lucky to have the guidance of my father, whose wisdom in poultry health, breed characteristics, and overall flock management has been an incredible asset in building what we have today. From recognizing subtle health issues to choosing the best breeding pairs, his mentorship helped shape our farm into something we're truly proud of.

We focus on heritage breeds because they’re more than just pretty birds with unique plumage. These breeds represent history, hardiness, and long-term sustainability. Unlike many commercial hybrids, heritage poultry are naturally strong, able to forage, reproduce, and thrive in backyard environments. They’re perfect for small farms, homesteaders, and families looking to raise birds with personality and purpose.

But reviving heritage poultry isn’t just about the birds—it’s about values. Every bird we hatch, every coop we build, and every bag of feed we sell is backed by our commitment to quality, transparency, and ethical care. Our flock health protocols are strict. Our breeding selection is intentional. And our customer relationships? Personal.

When you buy from us, you're not just getting poultry. You're getting a piece of our family’s legacy. You’re helping preserve breeds that were at risk of disappearing. You’re supporting a small farm where my daughters are learning the value of hard work, customer service, and how to spot a sick chick before breakfast.

Whether you’re just starting your backyard flock or adding to an existing one, we’re honored to be a part of your journey. From Paradise to wherever you are—thank you for choosing us.

Together, we’re keeping heritage poultry alive and thriving in Texas.

Loyal to Quality. Loyal to Customers.
