During most of this time, they lived in small flocks among poor farmers, free ranging on small farmsteads. Over the centuries, several breeds emerged that became adapted to this situation. One of these were the Swedish Black Hen. Then, some hundred years ago, industrialisation came about, changing the way chickens were kept. The traditional breeds were rejected, paving the way for profilic egg layers and specialised meat birds. These new breeds were not kept free or in small numbers, but locked up in their thousands in factory like conditions. Since people saw no value in the traditional breeds, they went all but extinct. In the 1980's, the attitude started to change. People started to see that keeping the traditional breeds around had both ecological and cultural value. A major search started, and several old breeds were found, that had been kept by stubborn old farmers who had refused to give in to the industrialisation. The Svarthna/Swedish Black Hen is are one of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen. Svarthna's are very hard to find . They are the true melanistic breed black, the feathers ,skin, bones,and meat ,they lay a small to med eggs & have a great personality. We use only, all black birds for breeding. But in this breed or any other all black breed, you can get white toes , most will turn black. You can get silver/ white ear lobes this is not uncommon. The comb could get a reddish tint. It's called leakage, or an occasional white feather,if you get any of these traits, it is part of the breed. However, you should NOT use them for breeding. They should be culled from the flock. When your eggs arrive, please unpack them and allow them to rest in a carton, large end up, for at least 8 hours before placing them in the incubator. Please be aware shipped eggs can be a risk before bidding. I do not offer refunds, accept returns or ship free replacement eggs. If you cannot accept the risk associated with shipped eggs, please consider buying live chicks from a hatchery. Please be sure you agree to these terms before bidding. I get a good hatch here on the farm but cannot guarantee your hatch rate due to postal handling, incubating methods, etc. Please leave feedback on the condition of the eggs when you receive them and I will leave feedback for you. I send fresh, clean eggs packed securely via USPS PRIORITY MAIL. The Ultimate Ayam Cemani Care Guide Written byChris Lesley Updated:June 6, 2020 The Ayam Cemani is an unusual chicken to say the least. They have been called the Devils chicken because of their all black coloration. In their homeland they are revered because it is thought they have magical powers! Cemanis remained virtually unknown to the west until the 1990s. Since then they have become something of a success story and a unique bird to own. We are fortunate in the US to be able to own one of these chickens. There are still several places in the world that are unable to import this lovely bird. Keep reading to learn more about this unique and unusual chicken. Ayam Cemani Chicken Overview Meet the all black chicken. There is not a speck of color to this bird just uniform black. However their feathers display a stunning iridescence of green and purple in the sunlight. The Ayam Cemaniis a fibromelanistic chickenwhich means that everything is black: feathers, skin, muscles and bones. Their blood is the only thing that is not black. In their homeland they are treated as a magical being.They are thought to be a good luck charm that fights off evil. They are also supposed to bring good fortune and peace of mind to their owner. Sadly this also leads to them beingsacrificed in mystical ritualsto protect people and villages. Here truly is a chicken with no counterpart. They are well established in the US, UK and Europe but not yet Australia. This black beauty is for the folks who want something different in their flock. They are poor egg layers and are generally kept as novelty or exhibition chickenslike Silkies. If these otherworldly birds have caught your imagination then be prepared to part with a considerable amount of money. Expect to pay around $200 for unsexed chicks from good quality stock. Ayam Cemani ChickenBeginner Friendly:Yes.Lifespan:6-8 years.Weight:Hen (3.5-4.5lb) and Rooster (4.5-6.5lb).Color:Black.Egg Production:1-2 per week.Egg Color:Cream/Pink tint.Known For Broodiness:No.Good With Children:Ok.Cost of Chicken:$200 per chick. Pros and Cons Pros: Very unique chicken. Lay cream colored eggs with possibly a pinkish tinge. Have a gentle and confident personality. Do not require much care and are fairly hardy. Cons: Cyclical egg layers. There is no bantam variety. Are very expensive. Appearance This is an all black fibromelanistic chicken. Onlythree other breeds(Silkie, Svart Hona and Kadaknath) carry this very usual trait. This is a small but muscular and well developed chicken. Their body is upright and their legs should be clean of feathers. As Ayam Cemani are a gamebird their feathers should be tightly packed. In the sunlight these black feathers show a beautiful green and purple iridescence. Their eyes and even their beak is black. The roosters head is held high and has a well-defined single upright comb and large wattles (all in black). Whereas hens combs are smaller and wattles are small to non-existent. Roosters will stand more upright and be more inquisitive than the hens. Hens tend to stay low in posture and keep to the background being less noticeable than the males. Size and Weight The Ayam Cemani is considered a standard sized chicken although they are a touch on the small side. Roosters will weigh 4.5-6.5lb and hens weigh 3.5-4.5lb. There is no bantam equivalent. Color Varieties There should beno deviation from black. Only totally black chickenswould be considered to meet the Standard of Perfection for show purposes. The depth and shading of black should be total with no hint of red or other color bleeding through. Birds of inferior quality often show some bleeding of red in their feathers, comb and wattles. What Is It Like To Own Ayam Cemanis? This is an active chicken that enjoys roaming. If you have to keep them penned you should make sure they have lots of space and perches. Howeverthey would really prefer to free range and will benefit tremendously if they can wander. They require little in the way of maintenance apart from the usual concerns of food, shelter and protection. Overall she is a quiet bird yet busy chicken that is best kept in a flock of her own kind. Personality Although they do have gamebird ancestry they are not considered to be flighty or problematic to handle. The Ayam Cemani is best described as a gentle, confident and low maintenance chicken. As they strut around your yard they will appear supremely confident and self-assured. This is a chicken that loves to roam so you will see them free ranging and picking at seeds, bugs and greens. Whilst they are very easy to handle you should not expect them to act as a lap chicken. They do not care to be lap chickens but will tolerate being picked up and held for short periods of time. They are docile and not particularly assertive in the pecking order, but since good quality stock is incredibly expensive you probably do not want to keep them with other breeds. Egg Production With this breed you canexpect poor cyclical egg laying. This means they will lay 20-30 eggs then go off lay for an extended period of time. It can be anywhere from 3-6 months before they start the cycle again. If you want a prolific egg layer the Ayam Cemani is not it. Read our article on13+ best chickens that lay lots of eggsfor more ideas. The fact that they are not good layers is one of the reasons the price of a bird is so high. Egg ProductionEggs Per Week:1-2 Eggs.Color:Cream/Pink Tint.Size:Medium. Noise Levels Whilst they are not overly noisy the roosters do have a very distinct crow. It is so distinctive and carries so well that in their homeland of Indonesia they were commonly used as a foghorn or warning on the fishing vessels. Hens on the other hand are fairly quiet and will only mark a noise if they are startled. Ayam Cemani Chicken Care Guide Health Issues Ayam Cemanis are a healthy breed andyou will be hard pushed to find anything about health issues for this bird.Their gene pool seems to be quite extensive with largereservoirsof birds held in Europe, US and of course Indonesia. As with all our feathered friends you should check regularly for lice and mites and test regularly for intestinal parasites. Also as their combs are so big, watch out for frostbite in colder climates. Feeding Throughout most of the year you can give this breed a 16% layer feed They will need slightly higher protein when molting so switching up to 20% during these times will be sufficient. Free choice feedingis recommended. Also if they can free range they will hunt up extra protein and other goodies to supplement their diet. Coop Setup Althoughthey are fairly smallthey are still considered to be a standard size, so each chicken will need 4 square feet of coop space. If you have a particularly large run or they are allowed to free range you can give them slightly less coop space. As for roosting space, each will need 8 inches. More room is better as they will likely spread out more in the warmer months and huddle together when the weather turns colder. They do not require anything special for the nesting boxes. A ratio of one box per three chickens is recommended although you will probably find that everyone wants the favorite box at the same time. Run and Roaming If you are keeping them in a run/pen they each need at least 8 square feet. This will give them enough space to exercise which also helps to reduce any antisocial behavior. You can also set up perches in the run. This helps to give variety to the birds and a place to escape from the rest of the flock if needed. Whilst they will tolerate being confined to a pen they truly thrive when allowed to free range. They are an active and busy bird so if you have to confine them try to make sure they have plenty to occupy themselves. Even if you can only free range them for a couple of hours each day, they will appreciate the freedom. Ayam Cemani Breed History The history of the Ayam Cemani is imprecise at best. As mentioned in the introduction this breed was only recently discovered in the west. Although they have been known in the East Indies for a long time. The chicken can trace some of its ancestry back to the Kedu chickens of Java. It is also possible that some of their genes can be traced to the Ayam Bekisar chicken from the Javanese islands. It has been suggested that the bird originated on the island of Sumatra but there is no hard evidence of this. One thing that is certain is this breed has never been a common folks chicken. They have always been raised by the wealthy people or by village shamans for its alleged healing properties. This breed is thought to be a good luck charm, adept at fighting off evil spirits and spells and capable of communicating with the dead. In theirhomeland of Indonesiathey are treated reverently and used in magical ceremonies. According to Cemani Farms there are three different strains of the Ayam Cemani. The difference between them is very difficult to see unless you have a lot of experience dealing with these birds. They were imported to the West in 1998 by a Dutchman known as Jan Steverink and since then has exploded in popularity. Summary Most people keep these chickens for their memorable appearance. They really cannot be described as a good homesteading bird as their egg laying is poor. However if you are in the market for selling rare chicken breeds you certainly can command a good price for these chicks. You will likely have to wait for your Ayam Cemani as top breeders have waiting lists that are usually fully booked for at least 6 months ahead. Did you manage to get one?
