Chicken Cemanis


Just a Brief Info - NOT FOR SALE


Indonesia call Ayam Cemanis, by English chicken - Ayam is the Malay and Indonesian word for chicken but the word cemanis also means black in Javanese. A chicken which has the dominant black color on the nails, skin, feathers, beak, eyes, flesh, bones, and tongue, and even sometimes there is also a blood black in color. Chicken – ayam cemani by certain circles are believed to have that are sought. These birds are beautiful and very rare. Extremely difficult to find. Entire black including flesh.


The breed is found in Java, Madura Island and in Sumatra. Include some part of Indonesia. Some people go to highland or forest to find Ayam Cemani, first came into being in Sumatra, Indonesia. Since in that same area a wild population of jungle fowl exists, a good guess is that the Cemanis descend directly from this population. Because of its rather "normal" land race type and build (unlike Sumatra).




The "real" Cemani is extinct, and that through crossing with ayam Kedu, some they called ayam Kedu - Cemani was developed. I have reason to doubt this, because Cemanis that are bred in the Kedu area are still a different type of bird altogether than the ayam Kedu. The ayam Kedu is a typical utility breed with good productivity and believe that a population of more or less pure cemanis still exists in Indonesia. This is, because pure black chickens have always had a distinctive use in ceremonies and traditional medicine, in Indonesian and Malaysian cultural history.

Another guess is that the Sumatra breed was developed in the same area (Sumatra Island) This would make the Cemani a very old breed, older in fact than the Sumatra. The most important characteristic of ayam Cemani is, that it is completely black: black plumage with a greenish shine, black legs and toe nails, black beak and tongue, black comb and wattles, black meat and bones and not even the possibility of black color blood - dark blood and organs.

                    


Body weight for males approximately is 1.8- 2 kg, for females 1-1.5 kg. They have a narrow, compact body, a single comb with 7 tips, a straight, flat tail, just touching the ground. The long legs have long sharp spurs.
