Just to pay respect to the Ayam Cemani breeders that spend a lot of time perfecting their lines, I think it would be a good idea if the breed is only referred to as the Smithies without the Ayam Cemani attached. Or if people prefer, we can refer to them as the "Smithsonian Line". The chicks should never have been sold as pure Ayam Cemani as they are not and never will be. But they are the basis for a good, low-cost black meat bird.
I need a name for this little Smithie cockerel. Any suggestions?
And in 50 years they'll be selling for the equivalent of 10 grand a pair! Or will it be 10 years and 50 grand?
