the Blackest Ones: on exploring the significance of Cemani mutations

[farmerChef]

Amazing chicks from Bekisar's eggs





Does anyone know if the brain/neural tissue is also black in cemani?

I am so Jelly, I didn't get any NN chicks

Hello,
What a great thread. I live in Thailand I get the pleasure of going to Java soon. The purpose of my trip is looking for eggs to bring back to Thailand of the blackest most beautiful of these birds that I can find. Unfortunately I don't really know the names of any breeders over there or specific regions that I can find the best birds. I would greatly appreciate any insight into these areas that anyone can get. Thank you for your consideration
Craig

I saw those, they looked like they had a hint of red in the face, and they seller had zero feedback.

I read the sellers bio and it was his first go on Ebay. feedback takes time.

WRT red. I dont know about those birds but I do know Sumatras can have reddish combs and wattles till the get out in the sunshine.

Just some observations.

Very interesting I am thinking your avatar is ayam so trying to look back and forth for some comparisons--yes obviously different types of birds but would like to hear your thoughts since you have had the opportunity to experience both firsthand
