Before I decided to give up my incubators, I was looking at Ayam Cerami eggs - very rare at £60 for six. Apparently it's the only chicken that is completely black - eyes, comb, wattle, beak, feet etc. It even has black flesh and blood so dark as to appear black. They are highly prized in Asia where they are used in religious ceremonies - you can virtually name your price if you have a cock bird that is true to form and all black.

Is this one the breed you mean Ayam Cemani?  It is one scarey looking chicken.

Yes ANHBUC - but I need to learn to spell!  :D

I tend to "collect" odd and rare breeds (as well as my "ordinary" girls - though to call them that isn't fair) and really fancied this breed, but the £60 price tag was a little too much.

Found these when I was looking for the all black ones and they look really nice.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused as to what the actual purpose of this thread is supposed to be. :wacko:

What's purpose of life anyway?  l suppose we could all make this comment on most of the posts.  It does however have the virtual of an original banality which is more than could be said of most of the posts.  I think if I see another post on Red Mite I'll die of tedium. 

But setting aside such musings obviously the answer to this vital question is .......................the one we tried to roast a couple of christmases back when the oven packed up. :wacko:
