I spent 3 years with many disappointments and many expenses trying to find acceptable stock for my cemani project and it is just starting. At this point I’d like to share some of their eggs to give everybody an opportunity to own this exotic landrace. Cemani is all GFF and Indo line from 5 different breeders all black, which does not guarantee all black chicks.- tan egg The Cemani was created from several different landraces in different parts of the world, that’s why there are still a lot of differences and is not anywhere near standard of perfection. Deviations from the breeds ideal should be expected. They still need a lot of breeding and we don’t know what was injected in other countries as Germany, where some of GFF’s Cemani came from. if you would like to find out more about the history there is an interesting read from a highly studied poultier on BYC. Type in your search and the page should come up. the Blackest Ones: on exploring the significance of Cemani mutations

My goal is to perfect to Indonesian standard
I haven’t gotten any white feathers on my chicks for over a year, I do get some occasional clear nails, but i have less then 10% culls right now. But no guarantee on this. That is a very low leakage and cull rate i am very happy with and that is very hard to find. I have a true Indo line hen bred to an Indo line – GFF rooster.
Ayam Cemani is a very special breed. The outstanding beauty of these birds has challenged many breeders around the world trying to breed this chicken. This being said I believe we should get back to the indonesian standard that looks very similar to the proposed british standard.
I am currently working to do just that and have acquired some true indonesian lines, which still needs some work as well as the combs should not be floppy. The last pic is of a cemani in Indonesia.

My eggs are never washed and are stored in a cool, dark place at around 61 degrees. I hand deliver to the post office at the time of the trucks departure. Once the eggs leave my home I can no longer be responsible for their condition at arrival.
Please, note that hatch rate and fertility rates are 2 different things. Hatch rates can vary widely depend on the post offices handling of your eggs in transit and your incubation method. I do not guarantee hatch rate. I hand deliver to the post office just before the truck leaves for sorting facility, once they left my hands I can no longer be responsible for the condition of the mailed eggs. Eggs can be held at the post office for your pickup. This is a good idea if you live in an area with very hot or cold weather. It may increase hatch rate. If you would like to do this I need your local post office address and your phone number so they can contact you upon the eggs arrival. NPIP
