About these chicken eggs for hatching

The "Lamborghini of Poultry" Originating from Indonesia, the Ayam Cemani is one of the most striking and highly sought-after chicken breeds in the world.

Thanks to a unique genetic trait called fibromelanosis (hyperpigmentation), these birds are entirely black. This isn’t just limited to their iridescent, beetle-green-sheened feathers — their skin, comb, wattles, beak, tongue, and even their bones and internal organs are completely black.

​Note: Despite popular internet myths, Ayam Cemani do not lay black eggs! They lay a lovely pale cream or tinted egg.

​The Cumbria Hens Difference ​Here at Cumbria hens, we have spent significant time refining our Ayam Cemani breeding group, strictly selecting for breed standards, vitality, and that deep, ink-black pigmentation.

​Our breeding flocks are kept on fresh Cumbrian pasture, fed premium breeder rations, and managed with strict biosecurity.

Indonesia's spectacular all-black chicken, the Ayam Cemani owes its colour to fibromelanosis — a genetic trait that blackens not just the feathers but the comb, wattles, skin, and even the bones and flesh. More about the Ayam Cemani
