Kaleidoscope Coop

Kaleidoscope Coop, Ayam Cemani, Marion, NY, in Wayne County and the Finger Lakes near Rochester. The breeder has been raising these chickens for several years and maintains membership in the American Poultry Association while following recommended health and genetic screening protocols.

Each bird lives in a pasture-based setup with regular access to cover and forage, and chicks receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments. Eggs are candled, and pullets undergo routine veterinary checkups before joining the laying flock. The flock is known locally for its deep black feathers and consistent gizzard pigmentation, traits carefully preserved across hatches.

Breeding stock is selected for hardy health and steady growth, reflecting the coop’s focus on sustainable husbandry practices. Birds are acclimated to seasonal changes with insulated coops and supplemental feeding in winter to support steady laying. Feedback from local flock owners often highlights the birds’ resilience in free-range settings.
