The Lemon Millefleur Sablepoot is a true bantam (having no large fowl counterpart) and an absolute joy to keep. They are renowned for their striking pale lemon plumage heavily speckled with black and white "millefleur" (thousand flowers) markings. ​Appearance: Distinctive heavy feathering on their legs and feet ("vulture hocks"), with an upright, confident posture. ​Temperament: Exceptionally tame, calm, and friendly — making them perfect for families, beginners, or mixed ornamental flocks. ​Laying & Broodiness: They lay small cream or tinted white eggs and make fantastic, dedicated sitters if you want a natural hatch. ​Egg Quality & Fertility ​Our breeding group is actively treading, and we regularly test our own eggs to ensure high fertility rates. Eggs are collected fresh daily, stored pointy-end down at the correct temperature, and turned regularly. We do not wash our eggs, as this removes the natural protective bloom.

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.
