Yeah I knew Ayam Cemani's and deathlayers were expensive. Deathlayers are really good layers, but the main reason I wanted ayam cemanis or deathlayers was because they were pretty. I just wanted to see if anybody had any that they wanted to get rid of. I figured it was worth a shot
I dont know if it was just the ones that we had but every Americana that I have had has been kinda dumb always getting lost and the roo would go into the weeds and a few moments later emerge with her, but that's probably just the ones we had
Medicated starter is fine but be sure once your hens start laying, supplement them with something like cracked oyster shell for calcium for there egg shells.
