Duck Hollow Farm

Duck Hollow Farm, Ayam cemani in Branchport, NY, is located in Yates County in the Finger Lakes near Rochester. Alexandra Wisniewski has raised this rare heritage chicken since 2015, maintaining membership in the American Poultry Association and following strict hatchery biosecurity standards.

Adult birds enjoy free-range paddocks with secure shelters and seasonal pasture rotations that encourage natural foraging, pest control and robust health. Chicks receive daily socialization under gentle supervision and access to custom mineral-rich feed formulated to support steady growth and strong immunity. The barnyard layout and attentive husbandry reflect a holistic approach that values animal well-being and sustainable land stewardship.

Duck Hollow Farm practices rotational grazing on cover crops to enrich soil and improve pasture quality, linking crop health with bird nutrition. A recent county fair judge praised the flock’s even temper and glossy black plumage, noting the breeder’s careful selection and consistent focus on vitality.
