Ayam Cemani cross breeding

[AprilsAcres]

hello, anyone have experience about AC cross hens if they are better egg layers than pure AC females? per info found they AC hen lays 80 eggs only per year. So I wonder if they are mixed with other regular better layer the offspring should have more eggs.
any experience with it?

My AC laid a lot more than that. All winter, took a few week slow down and back at it. They’ve laid at minimum 90 eggs each in five months.

I know late to the party but on the cemi association site it says when crossing cemi chickens to know if you have a true double black gene bird all the offspring will have black beaks, legs, waddles, and combs. Takes couple dozen chicks to know 100%, if any out of that number of chicks has pink, yellow, white in those areas then your cemi is a single black gene bird. Like how you see cemi with mulberry coloring. Those are single gene and usually culled off.

I bought a bunch of mixed eggs for hatching. I always love the randomness. The seller said she put a pure breed Ayam Cemani in as I stated I liked them. This little chick hatched out completely black, I couldn't believe it! But as it grew, it is clearly a mix of something else too (which I'm not bothered about if I'm honest).

It's got white leakage, almost like a reverse splash, and has a quiff of feathers on its head too It has a black beak, comb, wattles, eyes, legs and feet and nails. Just the quiff, shape of comb and many white splashes are throwing me 'mixed' vibes!

I saw past posts about crossing a male AC with various hens.

I would like to know the outcomes of F-1 and F-2 as far as meat-skin-feathers-legs-comb-tongue colours?

I did a batch of eggs from heritage breed hens consisting of welsumer, black sexlink, buff orp, rir, asalop, olive egger, blue egg layer EE, red leghorn, bantam hens. The 2 roos running with them are a blue egger americauna and a solid black cemi.

Definitely can tell who is dad to who when they hatched. Here is list of chicks and the egg colors they hatched from.

2 solid fibro black with copper around eyes chicks. 1 from a bantam white egg and 1 from a huge white egg.

1 solid fibro black chick from a huge white egg.

2 silver/blue fibro chicks. 1 from brown egg and 1 from tan egg. Both have mixed blk/light colored legs and skin with black beaks and comb.

1 solid black fibro chick from blue egg, with just middle toe nail on each foot white.

1 solid black fibro chick from tan egg with light skin on undersides of feet pads.

When crossing a Fibromelanotic rooster over hens that are yellow or White shanks this will produce a sex linked cross, Females will have Black skin at hatch and roosters will have white skin at hatch..

Now that is fantastic if true. Thank you!

So I'm late to the thread, but have been really curious about this. I rescued 4 AC x Australorp crosses last year in May. The rooster both have the mulberry combs and waddles. I had two roos and rehomed one of them, I have two hens who are both wonderful layers, their eggs are about 3/4 size of a chicken egg and they are only slightly smaller than the rest of my birds, they also have much darker skin than the boys. I actually love the leakage on my rooster in the picture. The other rooster was all black. Don't mind the legs, they came with a horrible case of scaley leg mite that I had to treat, which left their legs/feet deformed. I currently have three EE and three OE eggs in the incubator. I'm very curious as to what their colors will be and what their egg colors will be. I'm also curious of bird size, does bird size carry over from the hen?
