Ayam Cemani
Today, Black All Black does nature and looks at the Ayam Cemani, an exotic all black chicken. This bird has a cousin, the Swedish Black Hen, which is also all black, but we thought we'd focus on one breed for now. At $400, the Ayam Cemani is $100 more expensive than it's equally cool looking cousin.
"The most unique chicken on the planet! Revered for its striking, all-black appearance, this Indonesian chicken is known for its black feathers, black skin, black comb, black flesh, black organs, and black bones!
The Indonesian chicken breed known as Ayam Cemani takes ‘dark’ into an entirely different realm. Their feathers are black. Their skin is black. Cut open an Ayam Cemani and you’ll find black muscle anchored to black bones. Even their organs are black. And what do you get for all this unrelenting blackness? One of the most beautiful chickens in the world; a chicken so spectacular and exotic that it is referred to as the 'Lamborghini of poultry'.”
