The 'Ayam Cemani' or the 'Completely Black Chicken' originated on an island called Java in Indonesia. A dutch breeder exported this breed to Europe for the first time in 1998. Currently they can be found in Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The Rooster of this species can weigh up to 2.5 Kilograms whereas the hens weigh in a little less. What is remarkable about this bird is not just the colour of it outside appearance, but everything except its blood (Dark dark red) is black. Its meat, its muscles and even its bones are black. They are considered to be an extremely expensive bird to breed and the hens lay about 80 single eggs per year. This 'Ayam Cemani' is associated with a lot of black magic and it is believed that through it, many diseases are curable.
