A Thousand Dollar Ayam Cemani Rooster at Shady Grove Farm West Virginia

He is less than a year old, and is the SECOND roo we have hatched in the past 7 years with an all-black mouth. We just sent NINE roosters to Freezer Camp as we continue with our refinement. Oh, and just because he and the other two roos are ALL spectacular (all-black but lighter mouths/tongues), does NOT mean that all the hatched roosters are going to be "Perfect"! ❤️10 RARE Ayam Cemani 🖤Hatching Eggs🐣from Black Show Quality Birds NPIP Cert🖤 LINK https://www.ebay.com/usr/shadygrovefa... What "THEY" won't tell you about Ayam Cemani "GOTH" chickens! You have probably all now heard of the Ayam Cemani aka the Indonesian Jungle Fowl aka The "Goth" Chicken, or, as Business Insider described them "The Lambourghini of Chickens". You were probably wowed, as we were, when you read something like this from 2013: "Paul Bradshaw, a breeder in Florida at Greenfire Farms, sells chickens for $2,500...per chicken, that is. And $4,999 for a juvenile pair." There is a lot about Ayam Cemani that breeders do NOT tell you, and I include the main breeders of these imported birds, and that is for every "true black" bird they hatch and raise for breeding, there will be several DOZEN others that will not be perfect. Now, when we started with Ayam Cemanis at Shady Grove Farm, it was with hatching eggs from EBAY, but after culling MOST of the birds that we hatched from $450 worth of eggs at 7 months of age for the freezer, we decided to go with chicks from the above hatcheries, with the expectation that we would get "all black chicks". I was quite shocked to receive one $100 chick from ONE of the importers with pink toes and white toenails. I had read a LOT of complaints about the quality of birds received, and, prior to their shipment, threatened them that if our $1200 worth of day old chicks birds weren't REALLY good, then I would demand a refund through my credit card company and return the chicks. I suspect that they struggled to find 11 really nice ones, and "Pinky" was considered the next best! Pinky went to freezer camp! Note that even a bird that seems oh-so-perfect at hatch, could STILL grow silver, gold or white feathers. That is the case with one of these reviews of chicks Yahoo. The combs will also likely end up as "Mulberry" instead of jet black. However, if you go to ANY breeder's web site you will NOT be told that this is the norm and not the exception, so that is why I am telling you this now. As for the black tongue? I have seen estimated from Indonesian breeders that only one bird in 1,000 will have that black tongue! We had one of these, but he ran into a wall and broke his neck.. that was two yeas ago and he is still the only one. IMPORTANT – many birds hatched with pink toes or a few white feathers DO, after 9 months or so, become completely black. Likewise, that rooster with the dead black comb? When he gets into his second year, he will likely “mulberry up”. These are just two of our own observations. I will tell you for nothing that there are a whole bunch of folks who hatch a few Cemani chicks from eggs, raise them, and instead of culling the "flawed" chicks, they use them to produce eggs for a quick buck, and of course, they eventually end up with legions of teed-off customers who don't understand why they have a bunch of silver or gold-necked Cemanis, pink digits, white feathers, or whatever. so BE PREPARED TO CULL! . The fibromelanistic (pignented) traits express pretty well in Ayam Cemani hens, but the fibro gene is a RECESSIVE trait in the Roosters. That is why that "perfect" rooster that has black everything can sell for thousands of $$'s. So far we have sold, or killed some 94 roosters for the freezer, to get just a few black roos and only ONE of those had that incredibly rare black tongue! Our next steps were to try to identify any "less than perfect" hens and move them to our regular Heritage laying flock. We have already weeded out the major "faults" so are now looking at who has the lightest coloured tongues and vents for example. As we continue to hatch these birds, we will look to remove any with floppy combs or other obvious faults so that we have a beautiful flock of healthy, active birds. However, even then, we KNOW that many birds will STILL be sent to freezer camp around 7 months of age, when they dress out at 2 1/2 to 3 lbs, which is fine too, as Ayam Cemani, with their dark, blackish-grey meat, when cooked in the crockpot, taste absolutely stunning; like Red-Legged Partridge or Pheasant, or quail!
