The Ayam Cemani is often referred to as the "Lamborghini of poultry," and for good reason! These Indonesian chickens are a marvel of nature, captivating enthusiasts with their striking appearance and unique characteristics. Imagine a bird that is almost entirely black its feathers, skin, beak, and even its organs are cloaked in a deep, mysterious ebony. This extraordinary trait, known as fibromelanosis, is the result of a rare genetic mutation, making the Ayam Cemani a living work of art.
What truly sets the Ayam Cemani apart is not just its dramatic looks but also its allure as a conversation starter. Owning one is like having a piece of living history in your backyard. These chickens are relatively docile, though they can be a bit flightier than some other breeds, adding a touch of excitement to their care.
People are drawn to the Ayam Cemani for its exotic and mysterious presence. It's not just a chicken; it's a statement, a symbol of uniqueness and elegance. If you're looking for a chicken that mirrors your own distinctive style and adds an exotic flair to your flock, the Ayam Cemani might just be your perfect match. Imagine the joy of having such a rare and beautiful creature as part of your life it's an experience that goes beyond ordinary poultry keeping! 
This farm has been breeding Ayam Cemani since 2019. We breed to the American standard of protection. This is a very high cull rate breed. If any breeder states they do not get culls, they are not being truthful. Cull points we see, occasionally a white pad on a toe tip and feathers on their shanks. We do not breed pullets, we do not find those chicks as hardy and only wish to reproduce strong hardy birds. 
Special Considerations: Ayam Cemani hens are not prolific layers. They typically lay cream-colored eggs, despite their dark appearance. Provide a balanced diet with high-quality poultry feed. Breeding Ayam Cemani chickens requires a deep understanding of genetics, careful planning, and a commitment to maintaining the integrity of this unique breed.
Cold & Heat Hardiness: While they are relatively hardy, ensure they have protection from extreme weather. In colder climates, provide extra bedding and ensure the coop is warm. In hot climates, ensure they have plenty of shade and fresh water.
