White toes and leakage can happen in any lines, just fyi... but if purchasing chicks, the culls shouldn't be shipped out as AC's, IMO...
I had a cockerel in my 2nd generation with severe silver leakage, but his fibro expression was exceptional...
The cockerel you posted bothers me most with...
There is a club, the Ayam Cemani Breeders Association... they're mostly on Facebook, I had a link to a website 2 days ago, but it's not working now... dunno why...
With chicks, it is best to always ship a group of at least 6 or more of any variety... shipping can be hard and the more to huddle together to keep warm, the better... withinn reason, of course...

For free ranging, they are absolutely excellent... very predator wary and flight capabilities excel beyond any other breed I have had... egg laying is...
A lot of hybrid fibros tend to be extremely dark, even can be darker looking than full AC's... Sumatras are already gypsy faced, so it makes sense that crossing fibro in would express well... oyster colored mouths are acceptable, sorry for the feathered shanks though...
