I have Ayam Cemani’s and there really great chickens. I hatched them myself. At first for profit, Then fell in love with them and couldn’t let them go.

Can you explain more to me about the modifiers and how they work?But only a pure Cemani with FM and the GF modifier will have a black tongue. Even then, you are probably going to have to cull probably 90% or more to get that pure black tongue. Don't be fooled by gray tongues. Gray is not black. The same goes for skin. Gray will grow up to be pinkish as the chick matures.
You must start with a perfect Cemani, not a hybrid and then cull 90% to get the black tongue. A perfect Cemani is one that has two copies of the FM gene and the GF modifier. That can only be found in a real Ayam Cemani, Svart Hona, Ogye, etc. And as the chick with gray skin matures, gray will turn to pink and later red.

Ayam=chicken cemani=thoroughly black old post but hopefully helps for future research referencesBecause the translation of Ayam Cemani is Total Black Chicken. If it's white, then it's not black.
