Hello,
I'm considering buying some Ayam Cemani's. Originally I thought to buy less "exotic" chicken just for a DIY thing to do around the ranch, but since I came across these I'm left with quite a few questions and I was hoping for answers from the -experts-?
Greenfire Farms is the only place I have found that sells Ayam's and they are $2,500 each.
I'm curious of a few things here:
1. Is there a place to buy Ayam's cheaper (Being a normal U.S. resident without any special certifications)
2. How quickly can the Ayam's breed, let's say I buy 3 hens and 1 rooster, how quickly could I theoretically make an "Ayam Farm" of sorts
3. Do you foresee the price of these dropping vastly now that they are in the states and breeding will happen, or will the price remain relatively stable? (Not dropping below $500 a bird)
4. Could you cross-breed the Ayam Cemani with the Swedish Flower Hen to create a new breed of all black chicken?
Thanks,
CM
