Ayam Cemani or Svart Hona

[LexsPeeps]

So we bought some black chicks from a guy last year, he said they were Ayam Cemanis. He showed us the parent stock but we had little experience with chickens at the time. We had no idea there was another all black bird called a Svart Hona. After all five we picked out of a TSC like tub of chicks we were told were straight run all turned out to be roosters, we feel like maybe we got duped or the guy had a ton of roosters hatch. My question is: what are the differences in the 2 breeds? Can you tell between the 2

Sounds like you may have been duped. Greenfire Farms sells both Ayam Cemani and Svarthona (Swedish Black Hen) they outline some of the differences between the two in their description of the Svarthona.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I'd hate to tell people they are one breed but are the other
