ayam cemani

If you were on my shoes, what is your next move in chicken crossbreeding? I just want to know if you have the same flock as mine, what will be your next move next breeding season? Comment your ideas, I would love to read your suggestions! My target traits for the lineage that I am developing...

These completely black roosters are for sale. They look so interesting! Meet in the Houston area (no shipping). Price is $200 together, negotiable.

I believe this is a female but am not completely sure. It is definitely sassy and bold. It hangs with the roosters mainly and today I noticed he/she grab a hen by the back of her neck and try to mount her..... kind of. It just slipped off the hens back but kept holding her down. It is the...

DO NOT MESSAGE ME THROUGH BYC. I don’t get the messages. Email me at: [email protected] Small hobby breeder offering quality chicks from more Indonesian type Ayam Cemani. These have harder feathering and a more gamebird like stance. Not hatchery types that look like smooth feathered...

So last night I checked my coop cam like I always do and I didn’t see 2 of my chickens on the roosts. This morning I saw my Away Cemani Roo in the run before the coop was opened. So he must have spent the night outside the coop, in the run, which has never happened before. I found my Ayam...

Just got my eggs yesterday and put them in the incubator today. Hatching in a Hovabator Genesis with turner that I've used for years. Hoping for a decent hatch rate. I've hatched shipped eggs before and it's always a crap shoot 100% of the time. My observations: Seller sent me 8 eggs instead...

Hello, a newbie here with two small flocks. Glad to be a part of this group to learn more. My mini flocks are two hens and Roo (Ayam Cemani's) and the other three hens and a Roo (Lavendar Ameraucanas). The Cemani's are doing great, but the Lavenders are excitable and food-oriented. I have only...

Hello I had 2 sapphire hens I got from a lady who no longer wanted them and I already had younger (4hens and 1 roo) ayam cemani chickens and iv noticed my sapphire eggs are fertilized now that my roo is older now and I was curious what the chicks would come out as. Had any one else hatched out...

Who here, has raised and hatched their own Ayam Cemani? I’m very interest in possibly getting this type of Bird, but would like more info. We currently only have Bresse. I don’t plan on crossbreeding right away.

So i hatched these chicks a few days ago but theres this one, They're mom is a salmon faverolle and their dad is SUPPOSED to be a salmon faverolle ameracauna mix but this little chick doesnt look like dad or mom or any of their other siblings who are just yellow. Theres another rooster in the...

Hi there! I know Ayam Cemani are hard to sex when young and I know mine are too young to accurately sex...But can I (pretty) safely assume I have 2 cockerels and one pullet, by comparing the growth of their combs? I have 3x Ayam Cemani chicks that are 5 1/2 weeks old. 2x of the AC chicks have...

I looking into breeding ayam cemani but I want to good breeding stalk. I been reading on the FM gene how do I tell which chicks are the best and more importantly which will make poor breeding stalk. They are for sale on Craigslist for $30 I sold them some silkies last year she seemed...

We need to re-home this boy (Twinkle Star). We are located in Olympia, WA. He is about 6 months old and is a very sweet and intelligent rooster. VERY virile and needs a good flock to attend to. Unfortunately, he doesn't get along with our 3 year old Silkie roo and they are fighting for the top...

I'm not sure if it belongs in this specific thread but I'm sure its fine. I've been wondering what happens if the completely black chicken comes out albino? I don't have Ayam Cemani myself but I have wondered this question for a while.

I hatched 3. 2 are definitely roosters. I think all 3 really but wanted to check with y’all. Are those saddle feathers on the one in the back or no? I’m thinking all roosters but hoping for a hen lol

I let a broody hen hatch some chicks last summer and they were mostly roosters 🤦🏼‍♀️ They were all getting along fine for a while but now they are picking on each other too much. The father of all 3 is my Ayam Cemani rooster. The grey one is half silkie, the other 2 are mixes of one of my hens...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I had chickens when I was very young and am getting back into them. I'm focusing on Russian Orloffs while I work on a Michigan-specific breed based on their temperament and cold-tolerance. (2) How many chickens do you have right...
