Abba-Yah Farm

Abba-Yah Farm breeds ayam Cemani chickens in Luray, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg. Owned by Justin Roach, the farm has more than a decade of experience and is a member of national poultry associations, with routine health testing for common poultry diseases. Each breeding pair is selected from award-winning lines at regional poultry shows to maintain strong genetics. Birds are raised in open-air pens with daily access to pasture, and they follow a strict feed protocol to support robust growth and glossy plumage.

Chicks receive early socialization with gentle handling and exposure to natural foraging, which helps them develop calm temperaments. Abba-Yah Farm’s history as a small family operation shines through in careful record keeping and a focus on preserving the unique all-black features of ayam Cemani through selective breeding. The farm maintains detailed lineage records for each bird and provides health certificates upon transfer.
