A Black Cemani Cock
>> Sep 29, 2012
Have you ever seen this breed of
chicken? I feel sorry now; I should have photographed this cock closer.
Instead, I stayed inside the car and took a shot from a distance. The result
isn’t clear enough to see.
For your information, Cemani is one breed
of chicken, originating in Indonesia. Cemani
is a village name -near Solo (Central Java Province, Indonesia). The breed can
be found in Central and East Java Province, Madura and Sumatra. Many crosses
and variants are found.
Cemani chicken, especially the perfect black
ones, can have a very high value in Indonesia, because it is believed that they
have mystical powers.
The most important characteristic of Cemani
is that they are completely black: black plumage with a greenish shine, black
legs and toe nails, black beak and tongue, black comb and wattles, black meat
and bones and even (?) black blood and organs. The unique characteristics make
them usually used in rituals and for medicine (source:feathersite.com)
