Ashley Ryan
Ashley Ryan raises heritage breed chickens in central Virginia near Richmond. For over five years she has maintained a small flock with attention to genetic diversity and follows health protocols recommended by the American Poultry Association. The birds roam on rotating pastures and have access to a well-ventilated, predator-resistant barn outfitted with natural roosting perches.
Each chick is handled daily from hatching, encouraging calm temperaments and ease of integration into mixed-age flocks. Feed consists of locally sourced grains supplemented by seasonal foraging opportunities, reflecting a traditional approach to poultry husbandry.
Ashley also participates in regional farm tours and consults with veterinary professionals to monitor flock wellbeing throughout the year. Neighbors frequently comment on the gentle nature of these birds and the homestead’s quiet, respectful footprint in the community. This modest setup emphasizes sustainability and thoughtful stewardship of heritage poultry lines.
