Wow thank you BYC for another journey around the world. India, Malaysia learning about the PBA. What an amazing looking bird !

I asked the breeder how much his chicks were, $1k.....per chick.
I may be crazy, but I think you can get several chicks imported for that price

From what i understand, they are extremely hard to raise. Small hatches. I have no interest in them but glad someone got them here. I would have liked some satsumas but they got here about 5 years too late

From what I recall importing from countries where it is legal (some European countries and some in Aouth America) will cost at least $1,000 per egg or $10,000 for a few birds (like a trio). When you import eggs the transportation will reduce the percentage of eggs that hatch. You are paying for vet visits and tests of the breeder flock, paperwork, shipping and in the case of live birds quarantine and care during quarantine (several weeks in a USDA facility). There’s a reason why imports are so rare. Breeds like Ayam Cemani and Ayam Ketawa that are from a country like Indonesia where you can’t import from directly have to go through an approved country. This isn’t merely shipping THROUGH a country. This means that you have to find a country that will allow a legal import from that country and the imported birds have to be kept and raised there for a while before birds can be imported to the US from THAT country. So Greenfire Farms imported the Ayam Ketawa, an Indonesian breed from an approved European country. I’m not even sure if there was just one intermediate country instead of a few. It’s not like the European countries are willing to import from just anywhere…which is why we are able to import from those countries.

So is there any news on when they might have hatching eggs?

the guy is on youtube ' top quality aseel '. $1000 an egg

This is exactly the species I want to breed here in Southern California - USA.
I would take great effort to raise and breed these birds, and to maintain pure blood line traits, while striving for large size.
These birds would have optimum living conditions here, and beneficial diets, to achieve the highest quality of healthy birds.
Their role would be to become an admired breed for the pet trade, and to be exhibited in show.
Eventually, it would be my mission, to start a breeding program with serious like minded bird keepers across America, in order to bring up the conservation status of this species, to where it is flourishing, and wide spread.
Is it legal to ship eggs?
If so, is there any way you can help me to acquire soon to be hatching eggs of this species, from breeders with large stock, and pure bloodlines?
Maybe you in the future?
Thank you, in advance for what ever help you can give me.

i think there are some facebook groups here in the states where u can get them (i saw this breed and now i think its my destiny lol) according to google ai tho you cant keep multiple roosters at all even of other breeds (sadly i have indios and 7th gens of hybrid vigor landraces that arent worth the trade logistically) but if u get some hatchery for these and ship expect an order ill find a way to keep them seperate lol
