Hoggs Heaven Farm

Hoggs Heaven Farm, Ayam Cemani, Shelbyville, KY, serves Shelby County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville. It upholds rigorous health screenings and maintains detailed pedigrees to promote resilient, well-marked flocks.

This small farm works closely with avian veterinarians for regular checkups and biosecurity measures. Housed in roomy, ventilated coops and given daily time on pasture, each bird is accustomed to gentle handling from hatch through adulthood. On the family-owned property, birds forage alongside heritage turkeys and goats, reflecting a focus on natural behaviors and environmental enrichment.

Chuck Hogg’s interest in preserving this striking breed has led to modest show participation and a small waiting list for those seeking true Ayam Cemani coloration. Visitors can enjoy a quiet farm atmosphere and observe the chickens during seasonal farm days, where the deep black plumage stands out against open sky. Prospective families often remark on the birds’ calm temperament and striking appearance.
