LV Poultry

LV Poultry is a breeder of Ayam cemani in Ligonier, PA, in Westmoreland County and the Laurel Highlands near Pittsburgh. Nicole Rhodes follows guidelines from national poultry associations and conducts routine health screenings on every bird.

Hens live in spacious coops with daily access to outdoor runs, encouraging natural behaviors and consistent socialization. The breed’s notable black plumage and calm disposition make these chickens a distinctive addition to hobby farms and educational programs.

Owners value the thorough care instructions and ongoing support provided by Nicole throughout each bird’s development. Egg fertility and hatch rates are tracked to support genetic diversity and flock resilience. Chicks remain with their mothers for at least eight weeks, fed a balanced diet and handled daily to promote strong immune development. The operation’s small flock size allows Nicole to maintain clear lineage records and address individual health needs.
