4th of July Ayam Cemani Update

[abenardini]

First time hatching and keeping the breed. They are adorable, very inquisitive, and very friendly so far.

Diablo has the yellow toes . Other 3 are Mephisto, Adria, and Azmodan. Will put bands on them when they grow a bit.

Know it is not ideal to have any color on them but it happens. I’m not showing them, but do plan on doing a breeding project with my Ameraucanas. They should make cool EEs.

Such cute chicks! I wish I could get some but chicks always seem so expensive.

True.

There's usually someone local on Craigslist that sells chicks or hatching eggs if you're not looking for anything more than backyard quality AC's. I raised them for a few years and the novelty wears off after a while, then you have beautiful chickens who scare anyone who comes to visit. If they laid larger eggs with greater frequency, I'd have kept them as eggers. Great, friendly birds with a fairly calm demeanor.

They are - I bought hatching eggs and hatched them in my incubator. Had a 50% hatch rate on 8 eggs. 3 were scrambled and 1 passed away after pip due to deformities…but the 4 that hatched are cute! I bought them from hilltop farms. They were $110.00 including shipping. So 27.50 per bird based on what hatched out for me.

Our daughter sure nuff did . She was waiting for them to hatch and had all the names picked out. Diablo 3 players (and 1 and 2 for adults) in this house.

I recognized Mephistopheles and Azmodean from literature so just assumed Adria had to be too. That is funny
