- Ayam Cemani is a rare breed of chicken that is completely black, including its organs, muscles, and bones. This chicken originates in Indonesia, where many locals keep the bird as a treasured pet. Cemani, pronounced che-MA-ni in Indonesian and seh-MA-ni by many English speakers, comes from Sanskrit and means “jet black.” As a result of a condition called fibromelanosis, Cemani chickens have 10 times as much melanin as most chicken breeds. While the price varies, a high-quality Ayam Cemani can sell for over $6,000, and a single egg can fetch as much as $16. But what makes these chickens so special? And why are they so expensive?

I own one of these Chickens, he's a really good rooster, protected his hens from dogs and other wildlife. Love that bird.
you plan on eating him?
😂
What does it taste like?
Does he lay any eggs?
Can I has?
It's so interesting that they donate the first eggs for healers and such. Then the healers make it free as well. Nice to see people taking care of each other with no money involved.
Imagine being dumb enough to buy a $10,000 chicken
taking care? it is a competely useless procedure for dumb people
That is really cool and completely pointless.
Yep its amazing they give burnt egg for free :) and when you are eating it.. maybe you get bonus too! a free canser!
It's pagan superstition....what's good about it?
Ive eaten it once at a Chinese restaurant. Taste like any good old free range chicken. Not fatty. But it's really all black. Even the intestines, organs and whatever else is black. Pretty metal 🤘🏻
Thats a different chicken fool
Black chicken meat in china isn’t going to be an Ayam Cemani. It would be Silkie Chicken. Their entire body is black, but not the feathers. The Silkie originates from China, and is considered medicinal.
The chicken you tasted in China actually has white feathers. Their meat and bones are black. I always find it insane.

Best brooding chicken I have. She consistently hatches at least 3 sets of chicks a year. She last hatched 11 of 12 eggs.

These chickens get better healthcare than most Americans 😂
That made me laugh and cringe at the same time. So sad. So true!
Sounds like they are in Congress.

So interesting - and the facility in NJ is immaculate. It makes me want to do this
I didn't know these chickens could cost this much. I'm from the southern Philippines where these chickens aren't rare though still uncommon. I used to get these once in a while when I ask to buy for 'native' chickens. My supplier source them from highland farmers who doesn't make any distinction between these and the other local breeds. They are all specially good for making soup/stock based dishes but i have since asked to leave out these black boned ones. Kids don't like them
Yea like you can get 1000+ normal chickens instead
maybe its the ritualistic part that make it expensive
Imagine being dumb enough to buy a $10,000 chicken
Cemani is different from many silkies or other black chikens
They were darkest in color. Even to the blood and bone. And can only be bought in java. That is where the originality preserved
This chicken is rare bruh
I own a one of these. He's a rooster and he's very protective of his girls. Also has a very loud crow. Beautiful boy he is
I came from Temanggung, a region where these chickens originated. My late uncle even owned a Cemani farm 😊

My grandmother mother used to have a flock of these chickens. They're all black to the meat and she gave me two chicks but when it was time to go back home, Mom told me animals are not allowed aboard the ship. I was devastated because I only go there very very rarely, even now I haven't go there close to 15 years.
I own 3 of these these chickens and I had no idea they were that expensive, I got it from my grand father and he had a lot of it, he doesn't feed them anything except rice grains. I remember eating it's black meat many times.
It is called ulikba here.
Great ,how can we get the eggs
Chigga 👌
They're not actually that expensive. It is hard to find non mixed flocks, and purity has a price but I've never seen anything close. They're for sure a more profitable chicken, maybe like 60 bucks, that's the higher price I've seen, 20-50 if it's got any less desirable genetics depending on what.
Chigga 👌
Cemani is different from others black chicken type..
Most likely your chicken is not cemani...probably silkies...
Pretty neat to see the craft done from two different perspectives and locales.
I find it a bit of a paradox that such an animal is kept as a pet rather than food source, even if expensive 😂😋
Pretty neat to see chickens who love to run freely boxed in a cage NOT
@@TR4R it's affordable and hardly 'expensive'. i've eaten these chickens before and it's pretty much almost the same price as eating a lobster roll. the only people who'd pay top dollar for these chickens are western capitalists seeking to drive prices up and make an insane profit off these birds.
they don't taste much different than normal chickens too. better quality texture for sure but other than that, it's just chicken.
@@BxBxProductionsShut your leftist ass right there! Have you ever heard about a hobby??? Capitalism and communism doesn't have any correlation with someones hobby. If people are willing to and are happy to spend that much of money, then there's no problem with it.
@@BxBxProductions I'm a bit surprised to know that...
as Indonesian, never in a million years I would expect to see Cemani chicken farm in USA
and yes Ayam means chicken. so saying Ayam Cemani chicken is like saying Bank of America Bank 😁
The breed's name is Ayam Cemani though. So it'd be weird to say "Ayam Cemani Ayam" in Indonesian but in English or any other language it's correct to say "Ayam Cemani chickens" since Ayam doesn't mean chickens in English and Cemani isn't the breed's international name
Like saying chai tea
@@emrafighifari2675 Not really. The right name is Masala chai but it's also accepted and common for people to say chai or chai tea for that drink. But there's no term such as Cemani chicken for Ayam Cemani chickens. It's the same as no one in Indonesia would call bulldogs for bullanjing. The right way is obviously anjing bulldog, because even though the word for dog is said twice they carry different meanings. One is the breed's name and the other one is for the species.
@@zeroheroes4081 ah i see, good point. Thanks

Wooow black is indeed truly Gold🥇🥇
'Why is it so expensive?'
Well... In my country, these chickens have cultural stigma to be an excellent sacrifice for you to put a curse on someone.
So definitely a worthy investment

In India also we have chicken breed called kadaknath originated in Central India's state of Madhya Pradesh. They are also called as 'kali masi' which means fowl with black flesh. It's said to have medicinal properties and rich in iron which makes them black in colour. IT was an endangered species so government decided to give it to poultry farmers and now it's in good quantity but still it's 7-8 times more expensive and eggs are 6-10 times more expensive than normal chicken 😅. But both these breeds are different
literally the same chicken its just different named..............duh
@@ilhamseptian1604 no they're not, ayam cemani has pointier comb and also it's only available in black colour. Kadaknath comes in other colours too because it's a wild species but black is genome is overbreeded making it more visible
No dude, cemani is only exist in indonesia.

Indian people shamelessly insert themselves unto other nations videos/articles. Such insecure “lOoK AT mE” vibes
Wow, these are pretty cool birds, They look too attractive to eat!
In the Phil’s we call them ‘ulikba’. All black feathers, meat, bones but it is not expensive as on this video. But is a lot tastier than any cheken I have eaten. It is rare but the price is the same with the native chicken.
your title is like "chai tea".

I love chai tea😂

Bro you're saying tea tea... Would I ask you for a coffee coffee with room for cream cream?
In India there is a species of chicken called kadak nath and they are jet black and their meat is also black including bones. Sometimes the eggs of the chicken are also black.
I checked the internet and i found out that these two varieties are completely different from each
If you break the black egg is the yolk or albumin also black? Super interesting!
Well as same as Cemani
@@starrseed2687 yolk is not black 😆
Well both of these chicken have some kind of genetical mutation through selective breeding, I think there maybe a lot of chicken varieties that can get these mutations but it required ton of times and resource to make one
I think It is same as kadak naath. If you mate kadak naath male and female, the eggs will be all kadak naath. Kadak naath are extremely active and don't store fat in their body. Even dhoni was into kadak naath breeding.
Stunning birds😊. Somehow they look different from crows/ravens, not the same way black.

You forgot that it’s not just the tongue and black that’s black. Their organs and meat are black as well.
Where I live there are somewhat common. Far less common than your average farm chicken no doubt but I see them pretty regularly at reasonable prices.
The pronunciation of cemani is Ch-i-mani. I have this breed. I haven’t seen anyone selling it so expensive.
Ayam Cemani Chickens in English would be Chicken Cemani Chickens. Just call it Cemani Chickens

I have some Ayam Cemani, but they're sensitive to the cold winters in my area so the Svarthöna are more valuable to my flock quality. Was very exciting to find a quality hatchery.
many years ago i can still find ayam cemani in indonesian supermarkets, already plucked and gutted. i think back then people didn't realize that this chicken breed was so highly valued.

It sounds a bit weird when the narrator says "Chicken cemani chicken"
I used to live in Hanoi, Vietnam. A neighbor had a chicken that looked just like these, I don't know if it was a real Ayam Cemani but it was completely jet black. I had to pass it every time I walked to breakfast and it always creeped me out.
The main nemesis of Cemani chickens were feral dogs, jackals, and some species of eagles. No need to be afraid with that chicken anyway unless if you were amongst those three groups i mentioned above. Oh, tell your neighbour to keep that chicken away from the shamans since most of the time shamans would happily look for that chicken as the main ingredients for some rituals.
Chickens also have American dream
We also have this chicken in India 🇮🇳, (Kerala), we call it karinkozhi( means black hen). And it's expensive here in Kerala.

I can tell it's Indonesia simply from the title since ayam is actually chicken in both Indonesian and Malay while Cemani is native to Java Island. Ayam means Chicken, Cock, Rooster, Hen, Biddy, Chick, Capon, or whatever name you had in English for the animal. If you need to be specific, just attach an explanatory term to it. By the way, Ayam Cemani Chicken is kind of redundant, and the direct translation to English would be "Cemani Chicken Chicken."
The inflation of this chicken price is beyond my imagination, 1 or 2 years ago in one of youtube channel said one chicken cemani can cost you about 5000 US$
when i was still in elementary school i remember coming home and there's 5 of ayam cemani in front of my garage. i was freaked out, later i found out my grandpa bought all of them and just gave them away for one of my uncle. back then idk how expensive they were
In India also, we have this breed of chicken, locally known as "Kadaknath". Their origin lies in the Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh province and nearby Chattisgarh province.
MS Dhoni, the ex-Indian cricketing legend does farming of this breed of chicken only.
Regarding the pricing in Gaya, Bihar it costed me INR 900 per kg alive, and if you talk about the meat only then it reached approx INR 1200 per kg. I have tasted it, along with 5-6 other of my family members and as per all of our opinions, it was't that much great in the taste. The local desi chicken and farm chickens of India tastes much better than Kadaknath.
no you don't have it in india,...

Maybe I'm nuts- but these chickens are about $50 here in Eastern USA. I see them at swaps all the time, though they're snatched up very quickly. My best friend purchased a trio for $150 a couple years back.
Did you not watch the video? They already address why Cemani chickens are waaaay cheaper in USA. Its because they are not pure breeds compared to Indonesian ones.
@@helsinki they aren't purebreed in Indonesia. There is no certificate. and purebreed is not always desirable. There is a white horse breed in California. YOu can't have a pure breed, because if you do, it dies. For this breed to survive, it needs to breed with a non-white horse.

The ridiculous price and high demand is due to beliefs that cemani chicken is some kind of spiritual medium. Java people used to be Hindu, and they use it for spiritual ceremony. Today the demand for the chicken to be use in spiritual ceremony is still there but not that many because people of Java have become mostly Muslim and Christian.
Actually it is not truly related with Hinduism, before Hinduism and Buddhism in java island there is a local belief, just like Shinto that mixed with Buddhism in Japan, the local belief for Javanese people is kejawen that mixed with Hinduism
It is very absurd
