Black Chickens

[VolailleAmant]

Hey! Have you heard of Fibromelanistic chickens? They are all black. Like Ayam Cemanis. Can you help me list a few other chicken breeds that contain this genetic mutation? Thanks!

Ayam cemani and svart hona are the 2 breeds. Ayam cemani pure blood line are rare and you will pay top dollar for them ( I have 14 of them all under a month old so trust me hard to find good blood line and will cost more then they are worth but I had to have them lol) the svart hona are also called "swedish blacks" but buyer beware because they are extremely rare and a lot of mixed birds being solder as them. I bartered one off a "breeder" that grew up to have a red comb and all was not pure.

Ayam Cemani, Svart Hona and Silkies have black skin.

 

[Nats Chickens]

Silkies have mulberry skin, and blue earlobes.
