This is the Spookiest and Wild Looking Chicken....It truly scares me. What so You think....

This is a very rare breed "Ayan Cemani" Rooster. Not only are his feathers black, but so are his comb,wattles, beak,tongue,legs, and organs. They are from Indonesia.

At first I was like

but the more I look at it, I like it! It would be the talk of the farm!

I can show you something *similar* right here.

(along side a Jersey Giant hen) I have them in black, blue, and splash; single comb brown egg layers and pea-ish combed blue/green egg layers.

That is THE strangest chicken that I have ever seen! Spooky is a good word for him. I would like to see one in person.

Lost my Tiny Self Blue OE last night...she has only ever laid me one egg and Friday she was in the nest box when we left for Newnan...when we got home Sat it was dark so she was on roost...Sunday she spent all day in and out of box and looked like she was straining and was all puffed out so yesterday morn I put her in a sink of warm water for half an hour with no luck.Then I put her in a crate on a warm pad and she ate and drank well. I had hope because she looked like she was feeling better but still no egg.Then at 4am she had what sounded like a seizure and by time I got to her she was passed.She must have been egg bound but I am not sure what I was feeling for trying to check.She was nice and meaty,clear eys/nose,no trouble breathing,and no sign of mites. I wormed my flock about 3 weeks ago.

I was told by a breeder that this was a problem to watch for when I bought my other gal who lays all the time...he talked me into a bigger gal of his so I would have a good layer since my guy is so small and I will sill get small chicks.....

Seems the small OEGs this is an issue. DD that has one who always looks so bad when she is laying her one egg a month LOL. We keep a close eye on her when her tail is down and watch her over 2 days to be sure we get an egg & she is not bound.

Since we have gotten this bunch we have gotten only two eggs. I think all but two are too young to lay right now.

Sorry you lost her.

My bator is on lock down with french cooper marans. I've been so sick lately but seeing eggs hatch makes me feel better. The problem is I'm running out of space. Then Amy displays another cochin and my mouth starts watering and my hand starts itching. OH! Man!
I told my husband that when I grew up, I wanted to be like Amy. I want to be a chicken wizard. To be able to make beautiful chickens. Amy you inspire me.

awwwwww that is sweet!

I have to know how you did that?? Did you cross two breeds to get this unusual coloring?
