Does anyone know where you can get Cemani or Cemani type birds in Australia?

I'm going to have to post some new pictures of my birds. I think I actually ended up with three hens and one rooster instead of two pairs, so if anyone has any roosters they're looking to part with, I'm in the market. I might shoot Mike an email and see if he has any from the Smithsonian line available. The rooster I do have from him is getting his comb and it is a beautiful black.

I got distracted by my garden! Pictures coming soon. I've also started their coop so I can get them out of my workshop.

Here are some of my Svart Hona chowing down on a slice of watermelon this afternoon.

For any of you who are interested or who haven't already found it, I have 10+ Svart Hona eggs up for auction on Rarebreed Chickens Sell/Swap Page on Facebook.

I have put up 8 Ayam Cemani hatching eggs on Rarebreed Chickens Sell/Swap Auction Page on Facebook due to incubator crashing (DOG chewing cord up!!) I have a few pictures on there, or go to my Facebook page link below for Black Diamond farms and you can see more pictures. It will be eggs from Toni-Marie line cross with Greenfire Line. You may get a few culls, but you should also get some really nice ones also. This one or maybe one more batch, will be all that I sell until maybe fall while I'm waiting on my new incubator arrive.

I am also going to throw in a couple of Svart Hona eggs which will be marked to go with them since I cannot hatch them at the moment.

Ok, guys, since I last posted about my one Smithsonian line male cemani from Mike. I have unfortunate news from my family, that we are moving to the Midwest and I can't take my bird with me, due to city living conditions. So, I must sell him, but for how much??? He was about 2 months then, now about3-4 or so month old? He has a nice comb, but looks not completely black, due to Mike not breeding towards a standard of blackest comb, tongue/mouth etc. Even his wattle is kinda reddish/mulberry too and a kind blueish ear lobe?? And another fault that this one male chick has, is that it's top beak is kinda over grown and a little curved, but if you trim it, it will look fine as normal. Is $500(includes shipping) too much to ask for a rare bird, even if it's not perfect, but a direct descendants of land race from pure True Indonesian birds or should I ask for more or less? I did get the bird from mike for $200 2 month ago.

I'll upload pics later, since my camera is not with me for now.

The price for Ayam Cemani depends upon the quality of the bird. The is true even in Indonesia. To get top dollar, the bird must be 100% black, including the toe nails, tongue/mouth, feathers, skin, legs, comb, wattles. The price is also different for each line.

I haven't sold any of my Cemani because I personally am working to improve my line and build out my flock. My family would love me to sell some as I have about 30 or so laying age Cemani. Any that do not have black toe nails, skin, wattle, comb, tongue, and mouth are culled.

So see it is hard to tell you a correct answer as it depends upon the quality of the birds you are selling. One suggestion would be to just pass on the price you paid for the birds to someone that wants to continue where you are leaving off.
