Would raising Ayam Cemani chickens in North Dakota

[LipsChicks]

Does anyone think it would be profitable to raise Ayam Cemani chickens in North Dakota? I am fascinated with their beautiful rich coloring. Would they be hardy enough for North Dakota? I'm just beginning my research.

Read over the GreenfireFarms website. I am considering them myself but just ordered eggs for the Svart hona (black Swedish hen)

I have been reading it. I'm thinking about ordering the black Swedish chicks.

I just bought the Svart hona egg auction on here. He said they are GreenfireFarms line. I am probably going to add two or three from GFF in an order for March or April.

I think they are interesting and so unique!

I thought about breeding them also... But you have to walk before you run since I'm just getting into Chickens!!!

You'd really need to be sure your place is predator proof! It's hard to lose a $5.00 bird but a $200. would really hurt! I'd like to raise them but I'd need a separate coop and run to keep them pure. The Swedish black are cheaper and more hardy so I might start with them.
