I'm getting Augsburgers this month. They are so rare that back in 2000 there were less than 300 of them left in the world. They have a double comb and lovely black feathers.

I will have to get some photos to post of my rooster, and my hens. I have a legacy which came down here from Maine, as well as 2 hens. The mother hen passed away about 2 years ago but the rooster is still going. In fact I thought the other day about breeding him with his own daughters, but not sure if that would be a good thing or not. They still have them I believe in central Maine, but not sure how many are around. My dad had his still in 1980, and my mom sold them to my uncle. Mine came from my uncles, and he passed away last year so not sure where his all went to. I have had mine since 2008. I only got 2 daughters from him. Both are pretty little red heads. My husband loves his tail the most. It's just so different then most roosters around here. These are photos of the oldest girl that we have when she was still a pullet so about 3 years ago.

These are the oddest kind I've ever heard of. I googled for pics...at $5000 a pair I will never own them...but then again not sure if I like them or not

Ayam Cemani birds are completely black: black plumage with a greenish shine, black legs and toe nails, black beak and tongue, black comb and wattles, black meat and bones and even black organs. The roosters weigh 2–2.5 kg and the hens from 1.5–2 kg. The hens are non-roosting and produce 80 white eggs with a slight pink tint per year.
