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.
