ABOUT US

Founded in 2012 by then–13-year-old Ryan Kelsey, Valley Farms Hatchery grew from a small backyard project into a trusted, NPIP Certified family business known for healthy, productive birds and personalized service. From hatching schedules to breeding programs, Ryan remains hands-on in every part of the process, ensuring each chick meets the farm’s high standards before it reaches customers.

We specialize in Cornish Cross broilers and high-production egg layers ideal for homesteads, small farms, and anyone seeking reliable, performance-driven poultry. Many of our breeder flocks are raised on Mennonite farms using traditional, responsible methods that promote strong, vibrant birds. When you choose Valley Farms Hatchery, you’re not just getting quality poultry—you’re joining a story built on honesty, hard work, and a lifelong passion for healthy birds.

“Our hatchery wouldn’t be possible without our incredible customers and the dedicated team of flock owners, drivers, assistants, sexors, and sales reps who show up no matter the time, weather, or circumstance. I’m proud of every one of them.”
