Jan Humphries

Jan Humphries is a Buckeye chicken breeder in Batavia, OH, southwestern Ohio near Cincinnati. She has several years of experience and maintains standards in line with national poultry associations for health screening and breed preservation.

Her flock enjoys free-range pasture in orchard shelter where chickens forage for insects and grasses, supplemented by non-GMO layer mash. Chicks receive daily hands-on care, gentle handling and early socialization to encourage calm temperaments, with routine vet inspections and parasite screening to ensure well-being. Barns and nesting areas are cleaned regularly using eco-friendly methods to support a healthy environment.

Owners appreciate the rich egg color and winter hardiness that reflect her careful breeding focus. These chickens are known for withstanding chilling temperatures thanks to their dense plumage and sturdy frame. Fresh water is available throughout the day via heated waterers to prevent freezing in winter.
