The Ayam Cemani lays black eggs. Super rare bird and hard to breed because they have to be pitch black.

They do not lay black eggs. Ayam Cemani eggs are cream colored.

No, it doesn't. Ayams lay a beautiful white egg. The only black egg I know of comes from Cayuga ducks, which I own. I was the one that brought up black eggs originally. I actually have issues selling them, because they are greenish black or greenish grey and most people think they are dirty duck eggs.

I thought it was them but it is still BC for me. I just remember them being featured on the Food channel.

I had to look it up. Coffee doesn't even help my fuzz brain.

Lol I only know it because we have so many of them being bred in our area. Seems like just about everyone "into chickens" has at least a few, now. I think all 3 of us posted at about the same time lol

Lol before 4h the only things i knew about chickens was food goes in one end and eggs come out the other. Now I have preformed bumble surgery ( hen completely recovered but sooo gross), chicken pt on a young pullet who sprained her leg ( mostly recovered just limping now), and know way too much about parasites.

The bird has to be pitch black, or they only mate in the pitch black?? I like a little mood lighting, myself.

The bird itself is bred to be pitch black... black feathers, skin, meat, bones and organs... a lot come out with white toe tips, mouths and tongues though... the fibromelanism is hard to breed for full saturation...

My cockerel... he made it into the BYC calendar this year...
