Ayam Cemani

The Ayam Cemani is a rare chicken breed from Indonesia, famous for its striking all-black appearance, including feathers, skin, beak, and organs, due to a genetic condition called fibromelanosis. These birds have iridescent black feathers with a metallic sheen and are valued as ornamental birds, though they are also raised for meat, which is said to have a savory flavor. They lay cream or tinted eggs, not black ones, and are known for being calm and friendly.
