Renowned for its striking black plumage, which extends to its skin, muscles, and even internal organs, the Ayam Cemani is often likened to a living, breathing "black beetle." Every aspect of this breed, including its feathers, beak, comb, and even internal tissues, is uniformly black, creating a truly unique and mesmerizing appearance.

The neck feather color is black bettle shine green and purple. The female color is dull and not interesting.

The chicken comes from Southern Sulawesi. They have a crow that is similar to people laughing. The most common color is black breasted red, white, white with some red color in the wing.  

why I prefer chicken than roster or hen?

Most the exhibit chicken or show chicken is expensive than ordinary chicken because it is limited. Serama is far expensive than common chicken such as ayam kampung, broiler, Rhode Island Red and so on. That is why I bought the chicken. 

I care Pelung Chicken and it is success unfortunately, I raise two big Pelung Roster. One plumage is white completely and one is wheat is color. I was disappointed because either the white or the wheat are not pure breed. I am pretty sure the chicken is Pelung - Broiler Cross. Some bad breeder crosses Pelung with other chicken to gain more profit. I do not care about it because I just want rise any chicken. 

The chicken is cheaper than roster or hen. The price is only quarter or ten percent of roster or hen. I can save some money. I have to watch the growing of the chicken. To me it is a miracles. Yhe roster also close with me because theu recognize me.

The also adorable to our house. To me it is more profitable to raise the small chicken thanbtge big 

I also have intention to sell the bigger . There are some business to raise the chicken. 

I am very happy hear Indonesia have most expensive chicken

I am very happy after hear the chicken from Indonesia is the most expensive. I have rise the cockerel of the most expensive chicken. To be honest. My chcuken is not eapensive as the rumor that viral in media. My chicken is not pure black like Java but there is a little bit golden or yellow splash about thee wings . The foot is not full black in color too. 

I like the chicken

 Unfortunately, he got sick. Most the chicken from poultry farm cannot stand for few days . They are have to slaught after few days. Because the chicken come from other region that need at least two days journey. The fortunately, we could slaught the chicken before fiedmd in Moslem religion we are forbidden to eat the death chicken. The meat is black and my brother do not like the chicken. .o still like the meat though it is black. 

Back to Cemani. This is legend of chicken

And I ya relate to some myth that java people believe it. The price could reach 25 million rupiahs and it is about $1500. Whiles the native chicken or common chicken is only 125 thousand rupiahs and it is equivalent to $7,5. 

The Cemani also special because their plumage. My here is back feather, fur, the bone feather, and also. The more unique, more expensive. I saw the price today is not lbeyond six hundreds thousan rupiah for big black roster.besides the price abyear ago is around two million rupiahs. 

Today, there area so many breeder that offers cheaper chicken. I also wanting raise the 

Sebright Bantam Cross Chicken that I dream it

In previous post, I have told that I have a pair Sebright and Bantam Cross that is very beautiful. The seller often cross some chicken tonight chicken in order to produce a new chicken types. Off course. I can't say that the cross is a new breed because the cross is not a pure bird. When a cross mate with other it cannot produce new chicken like it's parent. 

However, crossing the chicken makes money for the breeder. It also attracted the buyer to buy the cross. It must be pride when a collector show the cross to their collection.

I have ever read in article, a breeder has cross golden Sebright and silver Sebright. The descendants is similar to other parents unless its color plumage. The cross of the both Sebright is light brown and its different to both parents. The pattern is similiar. They have laced pattern, which black color at the edge of each feather. 

I also read some breeder also offers the cross silkie and the Sebright. It must be unique. Either Sebright and Silke has different plumage. While the silkie has fuzzy plumage . I do not know the cross plumage. Will it descent the silkie plumage or the 

The Ancestors of Poland Chicken

 The Poland is not the Red Jungle Fowl descent 

The red jungle Fowl is the father of most chicken in the world. The light Brahma and the small serama are the descent of the red jungle fowl. The soft plumage silkie also descent of jungle fowl. 

I am amazed the Crested Poland. Sometimes i think the Poland has very different crest and small v-shape comb. I think the poland is not the jungle fowl descent. Finaly i know the chicken is not the red jungle fowl's descent. 

I love the chicken. It is various color plumage. I like the laced color like sebright bantam. THe chicken lokks tame and docile. Unfortunately the chicken is not good sitters. 

I still confused what is the ancestors of the Poland. Perhaps the Poland has ancestors that is similar to them.

Some Chicken can fly too

 I have risen a pair of bantam. The variety of bantam is a cross of golden Sebright and Java Bantam. I was pretty sure the chicken is not pure Sebright breed because it's a golden color sickle tail that we can puns at pure Sebright bantam.

The roster can fly for five meters. When the sales showed me the chicken , he jump but he did not go far away. He is nervous with the hand. Actually I just want to buy a silver duckwing but I have not found any chickens my aunt choose the Sebright breed with nice rose comb there are three layer of the rose comb .

I love the chicken. The hen is beautiful with the pearl brown on colors I said pearl because her plumage color there is white spot on brown feather. I thought the hen is Java Bantam too.

The chicken is long enough in my raising or around three years.   the hen leave first is suspect the chicken is snot. This is the picture of my chicken

When the chicken release from the mother?

 Until today, the village people in my country still use the traditional farm. They hatch some eggs and eats some eggs. They do not use incubator machine to hatch the eggs, the owner does not separate the chicken after hatch but they let the chicken stay with its mother until they grow ups.

The chicken need warms from its mother because they do not have complete feather. The thick feather cannot protect from the cold and rainy day. The chick also need food. I remember I must break the rice so the chicken able to eat the grain. Most the chicken feed at the backyard is big and the small chicken it’s not able to eat the bigger grain. The mother will break the grain into small pieces. There also some weed, grass and insect in backyard and the mother hunt the cricket and feed them. The mother is bird but it does not overfeed the chick like other birds. The mother also protects from the predator.

After the chicken grow, the mother expels the chicken. They lay some egg again clutch. When the mother separates its chick. I guess after the chicken have full plumage that can protect. It s about two or three month. The chick will make a flock and they also separate from its brother or sister. The owner may sell some chick to the neighbor or other people. Some also slaughter for the owner. When celebrate something, we slaughter the chicken to celebrate something like new born, wedding, the graduation, enter the house, and so many. Some house also slaughter chicken in order to respect their guess.

Sometime a hen also expels the chicken early when they got disturb from the owner. Sometimes unwise owner holds the chick and the hen does not want to herd the chicken again.

Raise the hen with its chicken may no profitable for the company but for family it is profitable. They do not have to buy incubator machine and provide the special flock for the chick. They just release to backyard.

Merpati Sungut : A Rare Pigeon from East Java Indonesia

Unlike United States, Britain or other developed countries, Indonesia has no pigeon standard bird including pigeon. Ini my country, there is no standard bird that determine the variety of bird. Most people just recognize common pigeon or Columba Livia. 

Actually, the are some special breed fronmy country. One of them is Merpati Sungui. This pigeon is rare . The color is black. They have ability flying at night. 

It is also a high flyer and the legend of the high flyer. The bird is also fast flyer. 

The neck is look strong and big. The bird os shorter than other rock dove. The beak is short. It is not short as tumbler pigeon . 

This pigeon is more expensive than common pigeon. The proce is around twenty times common pigeon. 

How many grain that we should give to a pigeon

Whenever you put corn , the pigeon will eat it. The pigeon is very tasty to eat the corn. In my country, the corn is one of the famous pigeon feed. I believe that the pigeon lover in US or Europe feed them with wheat and others. 

I think raising pigeon is not profitable, due the pigeon eat so many corn. The price of pigeon is only twenty five thousand rupiah or equivalent to about one half dollar. While the corn price reach 60 cent dollar or Ren thousands dollar. A pigeon can eat 50 gr a day so in a month, it can eat 1,5 kilograms and need about 0,9 Dollar. 

The price of the pigeon is not economic for the farmer but the corn price is so high. I psotponed to raise th epigeon due the corn price is so high . My brother inlaw has hundreds nice pigeon. at least je provide three scaks of corn. Off course he also has large field for his pigeonn.

Ohiki Japanese Long tail Bantam

Japanese are famous with the Long tailed Chicken Onagodori. This chicken could reach to ten meters. The Onagodori is a standard breed with long and slender body. 

Actually, there is Ohiki which has long tail too. The tail is not longer as it's big brothers Onagodori. The body is small . It is small as japanese Bantam. Some article written that the chicken is a descent both Onagodori and Japanese Bantams. 

There is not much literature about Ohiki. I have my friend pics who also the seller of some exotic chicken. 

Creeper is not a bantam

I have ever watched a short leg chicken but the it has long tail and the body is slender. The performance is similar to land race chicken. We can distinguish the chicken from it is leg. Although the chicken is almost similar to common chicken but the short leg is similar to bantam chickens. 

This could happen on any chicken. The creeper come from gene. The parent or the ancestor may inherent the chicken. In my opinion the creeper is not attractive. They have common body but the leg is shorter than common chicken. 

I have some picture that i believe a creeper too. I do not know whether the chicken is a bantam cross. The chicken si very nice the roster color is almost white.

Japanese Quail shows

Around two years ago, there are some quail exhibition in my country. People try to introduce a new hobby. The hobby is related to a singer quail. To me, quail singer os not good as  singer roster. Tend. Not beautiful melodies as roster. Surely. This is my opinion. The sound is cek..cek..cer. 

The sound of quail call is not attractive. Some people do not like the sound because it's sound very loudly. Well, some people love it and organize some exhibition. For a moment, the function of bird is not only for the eggs only but for show bird too.

The sound of the quail is ..cek ..cek cer.sometimes the quail repeat the call up to five times. The quail that often call is the winner. The winner will get trophy, certificate, and some money. The winner quail can increase the owner prestige.

By the way, the quail that is used for the exhibition in my country is Japanese Quail. This Quails is not a native quail in my country but it was imported from Japan. The Japan successfully produce high production layer quail.

limit the chicken on your backyard

My brother in law have risen some Chicks in his backyard. th

e amount of chicken including chicken include roaster layer and the chick. He rose Chicken just for fun.

One day, his sister has to roster but he always supposed because he loved the chicken so much did it finally most of chicken that after the parish. The rainy season in tropic country meaning Pierce coming. 

 I think that the traditional chicken parm must limit the check because the owner cannot control the peruse and they lack of the vaccine for chicken. 

 Selling the chicken is better than race in rainy season in my opinion, we must limit the chicken at the birth situation or bad climate. 

 I am afraid that a that young boy will stay here the chicken at night. Somebody at night not the cheapest also it or chicken with its up fang he can bring the chicken to the top of the branch of three. The red is also dangerous too because it could it the chicken pick.. unless you both a good cop you can race so much chicken and you can also bless some chicken at Large backyard.

Sentul Chicken : The Dual purpose Chicken from Ciamis

Indonesia has so many chicken variety. The chicken also has multi color too. It ia because Indonesia ia also a home for Chicken ancestor or red jungle fowl. There is a double purpose chicken which mean could produce either meat or egg. 

This chicken is very unique due, it is grey plumage. Some believe the Chicken is the descendants of snake. Of course , it is just a myth . The genetics not the snake cannot mixed with chicken genetics. This chicken is an excellent landrace chicken variety. There are some excellent chicken beside Sentil such as Pelung, Kedu, Merawang, and others.

Unfortunately, Indonesia breeders has not make standard of any landrace chicken. Most landrace chicken live at the village. The village people who raise the chicken do not care of the breed. The important that they have chicken that can be changed with money. There is no serious try to fix the standard of the chicken. 

I hope the government help to develop the chicken for people. I am sure the people want to breed the chicken as long they get incentive. The local government supposedly provide the chick also make some workshop to introduce the chicken. 

Ayam Cemani Black Chicken from Central Java, Indonesia

I am so surprised this chicken color is black. It is called Cemani, due the color of chicken is all black. Cemani is a bahasa Indonesia word, which it is  meaning black. Sometimes, we found the beak chicken is not totally black. 

The chicken is very expensive . It could reach one millions rupiah, whick is ten times of common landrace chicken. Cemani is not different to other Indonesia landrace chicken. The weight ia only 3-4 kilogram for rosters and 2-3  kilogram for hen. The hen is a good sitter too. The comb is single. The roster has bigger comb with many points. 

The skin and the meat color is black. Some people do not like the black meat. I had this chicken. Not all feather is black. There is some gold yellow at the chicken back. 

The black chicken is always related to mystique activity. I do not believe this chicken  can give you fortune or money.

icelandic Chicken : The Chicken From Cold Region

Before I write this article, I have asked myself whether there is chicken from cold region. I think about Icelandic where is far from other country

I search and find that there is a Chicken from Icelandic. This chicken medium size. The coclrele just can reach 2,5 lbs in five month; while broiler can reach 2 kilogram ini 60 days. 

The icelandic hen is good sitter. The hen brood it's egg. 

The chicken color is variety. The comb is also such as single, pea and combination. So this landarce chicken has no standards. In my country the chicken is also not standard. There are some cross breed such as silkie, Vietnam, bantam, and others. 

 

Modern game fowl the unusual game fowl from Britain

When you see this chicken you must be surprised because it looks like a bird rather than a chicken. The chicken has longer feet like heron or crane, which has long feet. The body is also slim. I wonder the bird can fly for far but the weight is heavy enough. The rosters can reach 3,2 - 4,1 kilogram in weight; while the hen weigh 2,25 – 3,2 kilogram.

The chicken is completely for show only though the bird has heavy body. The egg is so poor so people do not raise the fowl as egg layer.  According to the competition, the good modern should have iron-flat body shape, a relatively short back, fine tail, hard feathering, and a very upright carriage.

The color of modern is red black, birchen, brown red, duckwing and pyle. There are two variation of the modern: one the red eye with dark feet and others is the dark eye with dark feet. Like the game fowl, the bird has red to mulberry comb, wattles, skin.

The bird is also an ancestor of Serama Chicken beside silkie and Japanese Bantam. The Serama get the broad chest from the Modern. 

I wonder some Serama can get the high shank from the modern. It must be nice chicken to meet 

Dong Tao Chicken : The Dragon Leg

UjkikjChicken I think is web from other chicken do it's Giant lake that different from other chicken is a truck me. Certainly, I Do not want to raise this expensive Chicken. The place is high as a bull price. I have no money to buy this giant chicken.

Certainly the chicken attraction paper do it it's worth like that the size of the heat is similar to mature to human or more bigger you cannot imagine that is why the chicken is difficult to walk more effort restaurant I thought this chicken cannot run like order chicken do it s big black.

The chicken also back to be said with the brother the chicken look so heavy. The skin of the roaster is red

. There is no feather at the middle of it's broad breast. The roster weight is around 5.5 to 6 while the hen ia only 4 kilogram.

The color ia black breasted red. The upper part of it's body is red and the lower is black. The hen color is yellow brown with the black color in it's . The color is similar to its ancestor red jungle fowl . I estimate the color is limited because the chicken  is also limited too. 

In Vietnam, the chicken purpose is for it's meat. The people like the giant legs. This is not a cheap cuisine. Along time ago this chicken is for King and the family.  

The breeder is difficult due to its thick leg. Some chicken may break its own egg. I thought it because the space of the chicken is limited. The owner should provide larger space. 

North Holand Chicken : The dual purpose chickwn from North Holland

Suite with it's name, the Chicken comes from Purmered, northern Holland Region. The chicken developed from Malines Chicken from Belgian that is also crossed to other native chicken. 

I don't know why the chicken blue? The chicken color is cucko . Perhaps teh ancestor of the chicken blue ? 

The roster very weigh . That is about 3,540 kilogram abd the female is less, weigh 2,25 to 2,35 kilogram. The breeder also develop bantam version which is smaller. The bantam version rosters weights around a kilogram.  To me it is very big for bantam. Java bantam weight is only one pound or half kilogram. 

The hen could lays eight 180 to 240 eggs a year.
