I Have Heard Of Black Birds, Cats, Dogs And Bears, Fish Even,

but the Indonesian chicken breed known as Ayam Cemani takes ‘black’ into an entirely different realm,

not only is all black on the outside all of it's internal organs are black! skin, beak, plume, tongue, legs, toe nails, even its meat, bones, and organs and stranger still the bone marrow is black, their blood, although not black, is very dark coloured, Ayam Cemani is so spectacular and exotic that it is referred to as the 'Lamborghini of poultry' that is reflected in their price, the word ‘Ayam’ means ‘chicken’ in Indonesian, and ‘Cemani’ translates to ‘completely black’ in Javanese, this exotic breed originated from Java in Indonesia, they were introduced to Europe in 1998 by a Dutch breeder, where they drew considerable interest amongst poultry enthusiasts due to its looks and genetic make up,

so how much to buy one? well Greenfire Farms can sell you a young pair for $1,999, or for a 1 month old $275 from Cemani Farms, I wonder what they taste like? no let me guess, chicken!
