Ayam Cemani Hybrids, First Time Hatching Eggs!

[Nigel27]

Here’s a few of my AC crosses, the last ones cool because it’s barred and it has grey feet no yellow and barely any yellow on its beak

They are so fun. I love my mixed chickens! I have Ayam Cemani mixes from some barnyard mix hatching eggs i purchased. Not sure what breed the hens were. My mixed rooster is all black but doesn't have much of a comb and has mulberry waddles. One of my hens is tiny with a game bird shape. She is all black with a white stripe on each side of her comb and black and white hackles. The other hen looks totally Ayam Cemani with a lite grey mouth and tongue. I have wondered if her mother may have been Ayam Cemani as well. I am planning to breeding her with my full Ayam Cemani roo just to see what I get. But she isn't laying yet.

Hey All!

We have been proud chicken owners for a couple years but a few weeks ago decided to incubate and hatch eggs from our coop for the first time! We have one Rooster, an Ayam Cemani. We started with 6 eggs, so far 3 have hatched and 2 are Piping (at day 22). I would love any insight you guys may have regarding Ayam Cemani hybrids and it would be awesome to see pics of any AC mixes you have or have had! Below I’ve listed the crosses in this first set of eggs:

*Ayam Cemani x Light Sussex (pictured)
*Ayam Cemani x Golden Comet

Thanks!

Do you have any photos of the AC x GC cross? We’re about to hatch that cross, and I’m curious what they look like and if they’re autosexing.

@Colordao Trav, your AC rooster is homozygous (2 doses of fibro). All the hybrid offspring will be able to pass as pure AC. But the hybrid will show up in subsequent generations . In the past, some breeders have done just that causing a lot of confusion and discontent.

@BlackArtCreations, your AC is heterozygous (1 dose of fibro) so you get mottled offspring.

As with all poultry breeds, a hybrid is a hybrid and they should only be described as "mixed". I hatched some all black hybrids but they were freaking me out because I was afraid they would loose their tag and be confused with the pure bred AC. So, I culled them all.

We just hatched our first AC x golden comet cross. Here it is! Can’t wait to see what the others look like and to find out the egg color. We also have some AC x CLB crosses, but I’m not sure we’ll get those hatched because they were placed under the broody hen AFTER we realized she’d been sitting on golden comet eggs for a while.

I saw this link as I'm trying to figure out what I got with a muttly mess including a silkie cross roo and light skinned hens. From what I'm reading, there's a possibility that any chicks with black skin are pullets and any light-skinned chicks are cockerels. Maybe others with experience crossing fibro roos with non-melanistic hens could weigh in: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...elanosis-in-the-sikie-and-ayam-cemani.864273/
