The Ayam Cemani, the all black Chicken.

The Ayam Cemani chicken is a rare and exotic breed that is known for its all-black appearance. The breed originated in Indonesia, and it is believed to be a descendant of the wild jungle fowl.

Ayam Cemani chickens are medium-sized birds, with males weighing between 4.5 and 6.5 pounds and females weighing between 3.5 and 4.5 pounds. They have a strong and muscular body, with close-fitting feathers that have a beetle-green iridescence in sunlight. The breed has a single comb and a confident and alert posture.
