Not only that, but it's crest, eyes, mouth, and even legs are mysterious black.

The image of a rooster with yellow and black feathers or a hen with golden feathers seems all too familiar to us. However, not all chickens are lucky enough to have the mysterious blue-black feathers of the bright stars of Green Fire Chicken Farm in northern Florida, USA.

Not only does this chicken have a unique feather color, but everything from its crest, eyes, beak, comb, wattle, and legs is also black. When standing outdoors, its black feathers even shine with a beautiful blue-purple color, making the chicken look like a real dark knight from a distance.

During an interview with the media, Mr. Paul Bradshaw, the representative of Green Fire Farm, expressed his surprise. Although he has studied chicken breeds from all around the world for a long time, he has never come across such a special chicken.

This chicken has such a special appearance because it belongs to the rare black breed Ayam Cemani, which is native to Indonesia. Unlike regular chickens, even the bones and internal organs of this black-boned chicken breed are also black.

In addition, every part of this chicken, even the internal organs, is also fancy jet black.

Not only is the Ayam Cemani chicken unique in appearance, but it also has high nutritional value, especially suitable for pregnant women or people with weak health. However, due to its expensive price, it is not widely available in the market.
