The Herbelin Family Farm

The Herbelin Family Farm is an Ayam Cemani chicken breeder in White City, OR, in Jackson County and the Rogue Valley near Medford. Wendy Samuel Herbelin has been raising rare poultry for nearly a decade, maintaining active memberships in national poultry associations and following comprehensive health-testing protocols.

The flock lives in spacious outdoor pens with access to natural forage and shelter, and each bird is socialized with family members and local visitors from hatch to maturity. Regular veterinary checkups and a balanced grain-vegetable mix support the distinctive black plumage and robust constitution of Ayam Cemani chickens.

Selection is based on hardy bloodlines and calm temperament, reflecting the farm’s thoughtful approach to breeding. The modest homestead setting has grown from a backyard project into a recognized preserve for heritage breeds, and reviews highlight the birds’ friendly manner and the respectful care they receive.
