Pullet: Ayam Cemani, Shipping Week of 06/03/2024

The Ayam Cemani chicken breed has a gorgeous, shadowy black brilliance that makes them unique and highly desired! They have a friendly and calm personality and make a great addition to a backyard flock.  

Egg Color and Production: Not the greatest layers, Ayam Cemanis are known to lay steadily for weeks and then take several months off before beginning to lay again. They typically lay two cream-tinted eggs per week.  

Appearance: Ayam Cemanis were once considered sacred because of their body's black pigment: feathers, comb, beak, skin, wattles, internal organs, meat, and bones (their blood is not black, however).

This hyperpigmentation is caused by a genetic condition known as fibromelanosis. Their haunting look is thankfully paired with a friendly, gentle personality.
