Do you recognize this breed?

Thank you, I do appreciate your advice.

Reminds me of a article I read a few yrs ago of a breed a farm called Cabbage Hill was developing. I checked out their website and they no longer have it on there so must be it was not profitable.
I searched back on BYC to see what I posted on it and found a quote from 2015;

"We have been developing a large dual purpose domestic chicken breed from Japanese and Indonesian heritage breeds for about fourteen years. The heritage breeds ( Ayam cemani, Koeyoshi, Japanese,Silky, Black Sumatra) which have contributed their genes to our new breed, each have Gallus bankiva (the Indonesian Red JF) in their maternal ancestry and specific genes found in Ceylon and Grey Jf in their paternal ancestry. These genes were accrued in ancient times but using the chicken genome mapping data, we selected desirable genes and traits for inclusion in a new breed. We are selecting for extra carnosine in the meat and eggs of this breed which we call the Cabbage Hill Charcoal Chicken. The colour type is called Raku."

Pinterest is the only place I could find the pic referring to it .

Sounds like they put a lot into it and now they make no mention of it. So I bet they weren't getting $$ for them.

It's....a....chicken... A chicken... I don't care if the bones were purple with orange polka dots...it's a chicken. And...even the best chicken potpie (mine) isn't worth no $2500.00.

No one claims New Yorkers are smart, well except our Fearless Leader!

I would not accuse anybody of being a scammer, I do not know much about breeds to be a judge. But really appreciate your warning.

I wouldn't claim they were a scammer based on the appearance of the birds, I'm going by the description of seller behavior. That screams BS slinger.

This bird has black/mulberry earlobes while the picture of the chicken in the first post appears to have red earlobes. I’m not sure that they’re the same breed.

http://www.kblivestockfarm.com/ you can always ask him to cut it open to prove the point! The meat seems quite unique from the images in the above link.

Also all of the images I am finding look like Ceymani.
