This Chicken Is Totally Black from Head to Toe. Even the Meat, Bones, and Organs Are Black! [Photos+Video]

Get ready to see the most awesome chicken ever. This rare breed is completely black, from head to toe. There are a lot of rumors and misconceptions about this chicken. But once you learn about it, you’ll definitely want to share this with your friends.

Black is not an uncommon colour in the animal world; bears are black, gorillas are black, there are breeds of dogs and cats that are black. But this Indonesian chicken breed known as Ayam Cemani takes black into an entirely different realm. The black colour of Ayam Cemani is not limited to its feathers – the colour is all over and even on the inside. Everything about this chicken is black – skin, beak, plume, tongue, legs, toe nails, its meat, bones, and organs. Even the bone marrow is black. Would you eat it?

The breed originated from the island of Java, Indonesia. It was first imported into Europe in 1998 by Dutch breeder Jan Steverink. Currently stocks are kept in the Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. There are several varieties of the Ayam Cemani including the Swedish Black Chicken. It is thought that Ayam Cemani may also earlier have been brought to Europe by Dutch seamen who had numerous contacts in both Africa and Asia.

This breed of chicken originates from Indonesia. It has jet black ink feathering with a green or purple sheen, it’s skin is black and if you cut open this crazy black bird you will find all it’s organs, muscle and bones to be black. The only ‘light’ this bird has is it’s cream – off white coloured eggs.

The Cemani Chicken is sometimes called the Lamborghini of Chickens. It’s a super designer breed. If you buy two at once, you can actually get a breeding pair of these chickens for the bargain discount price of $2000 from Green Fire Farm in Florida. Yes, that’s actually insane. But these chickens are the most awesome thing ever, so remember to add that to your calculations.

The birds are completely black: black plumage with a greenish shine, black legs and toe nails, black beak and tongue, and black comb and wattles.

 Even the meat, bones, and organs are black. But despite many rumors, the blood of the Ayam Cemani is not black (though it is very dark).

And all that makes this chicken the most awesome bird in existence.
