I'm a new livestock farmer as of April 2020. I only had normal pets prior so I'm learning. It's October now and I have 4 dwarf goats 9 turkeys and 130 chickens. I have 4 who started laying and I'm ecstatic . On the road to today I found someone who sold ayam cenami eggs and I got a dozen and incubated and hatched 7 healthy babies. In my flock I have light and buff brahmas, standard cochins, wellsummers, sapphire gems, black bantam cochins, seabright, porcelain duccles, silver and gold laced wyandottes, jersey giants, salmon bantam favorelles, isa browns, midnight and cookoo marans, speckled sussex, blue bell eggers, easter eggers, americaunas, sicilian buttercups and mottled javas. I'm wondering what crosses you all have had that produced really pretty and dual purposed chickens. I'm building some breeding coops to put certain breeds into and want to know what breeds you all suggest I should try mixing.

Welcome! I can't speak from personal experience what crosses would be most ideal but @MysteryChicken might be able to offer suggestions. In my opinion the best Ayam Cemani crosses would be with salmon Favorelles, americauna, sicilian buttercup, brahmas, jersey giants, dunccle, or the cochins.

How about Ayam Cemani X Silkie? It'll be very interesting to see. But I see that they don't have silkies.
