Jamie Matts

Jamie Matts raises chicken in Harpursville, NY, serving Broome County and the Southern Tier near Binghamton. The breeder has been hatching and raising birds for over a decade and follows recommended biosecurity and health monitoring practices.

Birds live in spacious coops with regular access to pasture, and socialization begins from hatch to encourage calm temperaments. Flock management blends traditional feed with natural foraging under supervision, and breeding stock is selected for hardiness and consistent egg production. Heritage and dual-purpose breeds form the core of the flock and are chosen for adaptability to seasonal weather changes in upstate New York.

The farm emphasizes sustainable waste management and composting of bedding and shells to enrich soil across pastures. Community members often remark on calm birds and clear communication about care routines. Care routines include gentle handling of chicks and adults to foster trust and minimize stress.
