The permanent end of the bird.

This is all wrong. The Impermanent portal is far superior for assessing darkness.

Okay?

The black internal organ thing may not be what you think. When you open it up the organs have sort of a grey cast here and there; at least the parts that are not covered in blood. The meat gets blacker when it is cooked so the organs probably get blacker too.

Okay?

Is it??

Sorry. I was likely trying to make a joke but I should know better because I’m not actually funny.

More on topic I didn’t realize there was such an epic cemami thread. I’ll have to check it out.

The ayam cemani bubble has burst. The people that got into them first were trying to make a quick financial killing with the crazy prices. Prices are dropping now. They have low fecundity which makes them difficult to breed. They also have a high cull rate. So prices may always be justifiably higher than the popular production breeds. We may, or may not, ever see a black-skinned chicken in every pot.

I wish I'd never heard of ayam cemani.

May I ask why do they have a high cull rate?

Because almost all the ones that hatch have flaws, usually major ones like white feather spots, mulberry combs or not black mouths
