Ayam Cemani is an uncommon and relatively modern breed of chicken from Indonesia. They have a dominant gene that causes hyperpigmentation, making the chicken entirely black, including feathers, beak, and internal organs.
The breed originated from the island of Java, Indonesia, and have probably been used for centuries for religious and mystical purposes.
The hens lay cream-colored eggs, although they are poor setters and rarely hatch their own brood.
