Anyone with Ayam Cemanis?

[GrayChickens]

I'm so confused . One person is saying Ayam Cemani don't lay well and the next is saying they lay very well. Reaching out to people who KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE about Ayam Cemani egg laying rate.

Unfortunately, I do not own one, But I want one very badly.

I don't have any nor have I ever had any, but a little Googling from various sites says they only lay about 80 eggs per year.
This link is to just one site. There are many more that essentially say the same thing.

I have a breeding pair of Ayam Cemanis. They are young and the hen just laid her first egg on Thanksgiving Day. Today is exactly 1 week after and so far I have received an egg every single day. I would say they lay well. Not sure if they lay a clutch then stop as this is her first week of laying so I will give an update the first day that I don't receive an egg.

Hi Thanks! That's so cool! I hope mine has as much luck laying as yours!

I have a hen and she didn't lay much, I did hatch out 3 mix AC/BCM 2 boys and a girl and now the girl is broody.

this is the mom.

I have a total of 7 AC hens & a cockerel. All are a little over a year old & all have been laying every other day for a month.

Mine, like to go broody, even the one that is only 1/2. I have some young roosters to breed with them, I just hope I can gather some fertile eggs before they brood, and don't lay any more.

I got an ayam Cemani from a local farmer a few months back and I have been searching for more information on ayam cemanis now more than ever! Would you mind answering a couple questions I have? Like, “when does the cockerel start crowing usually?” Mine is 6 months, full sized, gets “randy” with the ladies and sometimes fights my other rooster, but it doesn’t crow at all.
