Probably the rarest and most expensive breed of chicken in the world is the Dong Tao from Vietnam. They typically sell for about $2,500 per pair. You can see them at http://english.vietnamnet.vn/fms/society/91272/-2-500-for-a-pair-of-dong-tao-chickens.html.

No, Ayam Cemani are an all black breed (even the comb and wattles and the inside of the mouth). They are also very expensive although enough of them have been exported to the USA that they are less expensive than the Dong Tao. In my personally opinion Ayam Cemani are a much prettier breed than Dong Tao (which I think only a mother could love). ) Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I would be surprised if many BYC members disagreed with me.

Yes, you are correct. Ga ho is another name for the same breed as Dong Tao.
