Peckerhead Hatchery

Peckerhead Hatchery is a breeder of Ayam Cemani chickens in Andover, KS, serving Sedgwick County and south-central Kansas near Wichita. Owner Danny Lang has been developing rare chicken lines for over a decade, maintaining memberships with national poultry associations and following established health testing protocols.

The flock is raised in spacious ventilated coops and rotated through pasture areas to ensure access to fresh forage, with daily health checks and early socialization routines. The hatchery’s stock traces back to foundation birds imported in the early 2010s, and customers praise consistent hatch rates and even temperaments. Each chick receives individualized care during its first weeks, and baseline vaccination and parasite prevention follow poultry health guidelines.

Peckerhead Hatchery shares detailed lineage records and care guidelines with new owners to promote long-term well-being. Biosecurity measures include foot baths at coop entrances and regular sanitation of equipment. The birds are fed a blend of pasture foraged greens, scratch grains, and formulated layer feed ensuring balanced nutrition.
