Greenfire Farms is the premier breeder of Ayam Cemani, a chicken that is all-black. Even the inside of its mouth is black. Its eggs, of course, are pure white. Chicks sell for $199.
The Indonesian chicken breed known as Ayam Cemani takes 'dark' into an entirely different realm. Their feathers are black. Their skin is black. Cut open an Ayam Cemani and you'll find black muscle anchored to black bones. Even their organs are black. And what do you get for all this unrelenting blackness? One of the most beautiful chickens in the world; a chicken so spectacular and exotic that it is referred to as the "Lamborghini of poultry."
In Asia, Ayam Cemani are renowned as much for the mystical powers of their black meat as they are for their extraordinary ink-black feathers that shimmer with a metallic sheen of beetle green and purple.
