Our Goth Flock
I don’t know if you can call three chickens a flock, but I think I will. When we got chickens, I told my husband that I wanted to get an Ayam Cemani. They are a breed of chicken from Indonesia and have what is called fibromelanosis, which means they are completely black. Even their bones and organs are known to be black! I just wish they also laid black eggs, but they don’t. They actually lay cream-colored eggs. We originally got four Ayam Cemani chicks, but luck was not in our favor and we ended up with three roos. We kept one of the roos and traded another for a second hen. So, we now have one roo named Cajun and two hens Cinder and Ashe. I hope to get a few more hens and possibly hatch out some Ayam chicks. I would also love to add a few other all black breeds such as the Sumatra or the Kali Masi
