Cock Cock Boom

Cock Cock Boom, Ayam cemani in Canton, TX, is in Van Zandt County and the East Texas region near Dallas. It has maintained a breeding program for several years, follows recognized poultry association guidelines and conducts routine health screenings to uphold robust bloodlines.

Chicks are brooded indoors under controlled temperature settings before moving to spacious outdoor runs with natural light and daily social interaction, which encourages calm temperaments. Karen Richey emphasizes low-stress environments with balanced nutrition, supplemental dust baths and foraging among native grasses to reflect a hands-on approach to poultry care.

New additions undergo a two-week quarantine period in a dedicated brooding area to monitor health and acclimate chicks to the farm’s routine. Birds are routinely assessed for vitality and reproductive potential before joining regular flocks. Local growers often comment on the breed’s distinctive black sheen and uniform health, noting ease of care and consistent temperament.
