[ozexpat]

Cant get em yet here in the States. Right now Greenfire farms has some theirs are pretty... r. OMG they werent going to go for sale till next year..... http://greenfirefarms.com/store/category/chickens/ayam-cemani/ only 4999.00 a pair. Cough Cough... I like em I wont be getting any real soon.

You can get them in the Philippines but here in the states there is a ban on importation from Indonesia? where they are from.

deb

they are from indonesia

they are hundreds of dollars a pair in the philippines.

i have good contacts in indonesia and i will be there in January. I just may have to get a few eggs to take into the Philippines as ASEAN trade partners, it should not be too difficult

my guess is greenfire is getting them from holland

Well the chicks are somewhat cute, at least! Too bad they have to grow up and have that unfortunate comb going on...
