My parents surprised me last week with six Ayam Cemani eggs. I put them in the incubator last week, and I candles them on Friday. One was not fertile. I’m down to five eggs. I also put two of my Easter Egger’s, Bolt, eggs in. They are fertile so far. I am going to candle them in Thursday or...

I've been meaning to make this post for a while, but this is the story of my one winged Ayam Cemani/d'uccle chick, Bethany Hamilton. Otherwise known as Ham. I want to share it in case someone in the future is wondering what to do with an injury like Ham's...
The parents of this pullet (2-3 months) are both standard feathered Ayam cemanis. However, she developed leg feathers. Does other variants of Ayam cemani (bottle brush, walik, frizzle) have this characteristics?
Merry Christmas to all!!!!
Hello! New member here :) my name is Gemala, I'm from Indonesia the origin country of Ayam Cemani!
I'm a new chicken keeper, my first chickens are Brahma. I got them mid September 2023, so it has been 2 months of wonderful experience for me.
Now I own 6 Brahmas, and 2 Rhode Island White chicks...
The Ayam Cemani is ultra exclusive for a number of different reasons. The obvious one is their all black pigmentation. This includes their skin, bones, plumage, mouths, tongues and yes- even their internal organs. However the Ayam Cemanis' sleek unusual appearance is equally irresistible for...
A lot of people were hating on other breeders that cross their chickens with other breed. Here is my opinion:
As long as you are treating your chickens right (by providing their basic necessities) and breeding to create chickens with distinct characteristics like for more meat, eggs, color...
Australorp in general are great layers. Ayam Cemani is not. Does anyone have experience breeding Ayam Cemani rooster with Black Australorp or similar breeds for egg production?
I loooove my chickens, and one is acting weird. It was hot outside, so I brought them into the garage. Then my ayam cemani pullet started acting weird. She sat woth her wings out to her sides a little on the roosting bar, and would close her eyes for a bit, then go into fits of panic, panting...
Up for consideration: BREEDING PAIR (fully-grown/hen and rooster) of AYAM CEMANI chickens aka the rarest and most sought-after chicken in the world.! Originating in Indonesia, these show stoppers have most everything black; feathers, skin, comb to wattles, flesh, organs, and even black bones and...
I am by no means new to chicken keeping and have been obsessed with birds and homesteading since I was a young child.
I currently have 5 ayam cemani, 2 unknown bantams, and 2 broad breasted white turkeys. I used to have a much larger variety of poultry and breeds. I am freelance commission...
Hey guys! I took in this little one from a friend because it was growing up alone :(
Does anyone have any ideas what breeds it could be? I've never seen a chick like it, haha.
Also, any idea about hen vs. rooster?
I'm guessing it's about 5.5/6 weeks old. It's maybe just a tiny bit bigger than...
I am excellent at judging my ducks’ genders but these are my first and only chickens, and I cannot figure this out! My husband says we have one girl and one boy but I think they look the same. They are about 3 months old and they are Ayam Cemani. tia 😃
3 jerk cockerels- they’re actually great roosters, but hate me. They do a great job protecting their girls and finding tasty treats for them. I just have too many and am combining all my hens into 2 runs with only 2 roos.
Jethro is an Ayam Cemani- this is a rare fibromelanistic breed (the rarest...
My target traits for the lineage that I am developing are: black meat, black feathers, not a flyer, 2kg above average weight, docile, enhance broodiness, and resistant to the diseases and weather here in the Philippines.
My idea would be breeding my WL x N x AC x CS cockerel to my BA pullet and...
If you were on my shoes, what is your next move in chicken crossbreeding?
I just want to know if you have the same flock as mine, what will be your next move next breeding season? Comment your ideas, I would love to read your suggestions!
My target traits for the lineage that I am developing...
