Damn! Can I ask what the issue is with Greenfire Farms?

My personal preference? Look at their pictures of their birds. Combs and wattles showing distinct mulberry color. This is a no no. The roosters from my stock also stand more upright like a primitive fowl and have a large comb. They are not the "American" phenotype. All black, no mulberry. Any birds I had that showed mulberry were culled. You may get birds with mulberry that should be culled and you shouldn't be showing them as representatives of the breed (and your stock).

"American" Cemani are known to have color bleed and other unexpected/undesired qualities. This is indicative of recent cross breeding/hybridization of the "American" Cemani making it less desirable for people looking for the best possible phenotype expression from their birds."

Thank you for the explanation. Super frustrated that you’re not close enough to me to get some from your stock. Not finding any worth a damn anywhere around here.

Do you still have these available? I love GFF and looking forward to a delivery next week but I’ve never ordered AC from them.

I do still have some that are not spoken for. Noticing also now that GFF no longer even offers them.

Supposedly, GFF imported their line, but if they truly did, they got a flawed line...Not only have I seen their own pictures, but I've talked to other h atcheries that don't even want to sell them once they've spent all that money on bad stock...They're still very pretty, flawed or not, but they are most definitely not pure

No longer purebred. I lost my rooster so now the chicks are Ayam Cemani x Ameraucana..
