This Chicken Is Completely Black From Its Feathers To Its Bones

Ayam Cemanis are a striking sight. Their all black feathers have a beetle-green iridescence in sunlight that is stunning. They are not an overly large fowl; the boys weigh in around 4.5-6.5lb, with the girls coming in at 3.5-4.5lb respectively, so more of a medium sized bird. In appearance they are strong and muscular with close fitting feathers, not unlike a game bird. They strike a confident pose and are always alert.
