Someone try this in kenya; Ayam Cemani is a rarely kept breed of chicken originating in Indonesia. Ayam means chicken in Indonesian and Cemani is completely black in Javanese. The breed originated from the island of Java, Indonesia. It was first imported into Europe in 1998 by Dutch breeder Jan Steverink. Currently stocks are kept in the Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. There are several varieties of the Ayam Cemani including the Swedish Black Chicken. It is thought that Ayam Cemani may also earlier have been brought to Europe by Dutch seamen who had numerous contacts in both Africa and Asia. The birds 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 dark organs. The roosters weigh 2–2.5 kg and the hens from 1.5–2 kg. The hens are non- roosting and produce 80 white eggs with a slight pink tint per year. Eggs weigh an average of 45 g.
