LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
...and hens too!

The very rare Ayam Cemani from Indonesia features black feathers, skin, muscle, bone and organs:

The Indonesian Ayam Cemani is "my most requested bird, ever," says Paul Bradshaw of Florida's Greenfire Farms.

Why is the chicken so special? It's partly aesthetic: The Ayam Cemani is black inside and out, from its feathers to its comb to its internal organs. "They're stunningly beautiful, like staring into a black hole," says Bradshaw.

The bird is also incredibly rare: Bradshaw, the first US breeder, won't have chicks to sell until early 2014. He's pricing them to meet demand: $5,000 a pair.

Greenfire Farms was able to locate and legally import pure specimens of this breed despite the current USDA export ban on importing live chickens from Indonesia. We have unrelated bloodlines of ayam cemani that should produce healthy and beautiful chicks for many generations. Ayam Cemani are friendly birds, and the hens lay about 60 cream-colored eggs their first year. A typical laying cycle lasts for about 20 to 30 eggs, then the hen will stop laying for three to six months. The eggs are unusually large in proportion to the size of the hen’s body.

The birds pictured here are our breeding stock, and they were selected from many birds for their exceptionally black features. However, we cannot guarantee the distribution of black pigment in their offspring. We intend to release the Ayam Cemani in the spring of 2014. The juvenile birds are difficult to sex, and juvenile pairs will probably be 8-12 weeks old. If you would like to be on the waiting list, a $100 deposit will hold your place in line to receive a pair.

¡Mira ese pinche gallo negro!

I'd make them Mexican boys on the block so jelly if I had one of those!


¡Echasen un grito cabrones!
¡¡¡Aaaayaaaaah, ja, ja, ja, jaaaaaaiiiiiii!!!
 
The adult looks more blue. But I love the coloration on the feathers, shifting between light and dark blues. Almost looks like dragon scales. So even the bones are dark? Interesting.

ok are we still talking about cocks or are we talking about cocks
 
A few thousand dollars? I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those cocks. Heck, for twenty five hundred dollars a head I'd make a career out of handling those cocks.
 
Oh...

Anyone else have that feeling like you just opened a present you thought was a bottle of expensive Scotch in a gift box but turned out to be a shower gel and shampoo set?
