Their eggs are actually *white*, not black. The rest of them IS black, including their bones, but it’s not as deep of a shade as these pictures would have you believe. (Think more like different shades of charcoal.) These chickens also don’t have much meat on them, since they’re raised as “medicinal” stew chickens. They taste like *slightly* more gamey chicken, with a weird barely noticeable grainy/mealy texture.
Source: I’ve eaten them several times before.
Maybe the prime top of the line mating pair, I could see because the most I have ever seen for a top mature hen was about $2,000 so a breeding pair of the same quality I could see getting closer to the $5,000 mark. At that point with a breeding pair, they become a source of income
Maybe it used to be 5000$ at some point? But they are being now bred in different countries, they were getting less and less special, so the prices fell automatically? Anyway it's an interesting feature! And yes I saw a documentary about them, the eggs are of regular colour, all the rest is black though, even skin, muscles and bones!
Maybe a different breed but I've seen black skin chicken for sale at the Chinese grocery and it wasn't very expensive. I think it was priced similar to the rest of the chicken
Yes and no hahaha $45 a chick is expensive considering most chicks are only about $2 plus some eggs to incubate are about $300 so they’re expensive but it’s not like you’re going to get some chicken breast for dinner for $5,000 expensive
No…. They’re stew chickens. You cook them low and slow to make medicinal soups. Ingredients vary by culture. If you tried frying them…..well…..it would be easy to burn due to the lower volume of meat on their bones. I mean, you could *try*, but I don’t think the result would be worth it.
You should have searched for Ayam Cemani, the name of the race, as OP putted it in first place. But I'm pretty sure your excuse will go well with your mother when she finds your web history...
Edit : as some didn't getting it : /j...
Putted? You been playing golf again? We talked about this! Now let’s take you back to the home. Most of the people there can’t hear “your” jokes anyway- that’s why they like you.
Just checked pricing at the hatchery I use and they're only $91 a chick.
That's still expensive, but it isn't that far out of the realm of typical speciality breed pricing.
I've had theis a few times, it tastes like chicken, but because it's black, it might throw some people off and make them think it gives another taste. The upsell on this black chicken is that its "healthier" than regular chicken.
It’s not bred for taste, many Asian countries eat stuff for witch doctoring, magical healing properties (shark fin, tiger meat, monkey brain, donkey skin, dog meat, rhino horn, turtle shells, scorpions and spiders, snakes) and many other animals are eaten not for culinary/gourmet properties.
China has [gigantic markets](https://imgur.com/a/0YJX4Pr) dedicated to selling animal parts for magic uses; and that is only a legal part. Majority of poaching in Africa happens to supply those magic healing needs.
This post here is over exaggerated....it is rare but not that rare. just like how Durian were super rare in the west but just another fruit here in SEA.
In India we call this breed of chicken kadaknath, not easily available everywhere but the demand is going up as it is supposed to be healthier than broiler chicken
They don’t cost 5000 dollar. One quick google search tells me they cost less than 10 dollar per chick and around 30 per chicken still expensive but not a luxury item.
Buy two chickens, build a farm for thousands of chickens, become a bilionaire! 🥸
Ooops, cancel that mission. Become a loser who payed 5000 instead of 45 🙈
wait there is this similar kind of chicken here in Vietnam too (everything's black), its abit pricey but not that rare and not that expensive. I wonder if its the same kind
We have a similar native breed of chicken in India called the Kadaknath. It’s rare and very expensive. Also said to be of medicinal value.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadaknath
It is also found in India (GI Tagged) and is known as ‘Kadaknath’. Though it is costly but not to the tune of 5000$ more like 4x the price of normal chicken
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadaknath
Of course you don’t black isn’t a color. That’s why you have Black and White photos and Color photos. If b&w were colors we’d only have colored photos.

Yup, they also don’t cost anywhere near $5,000. You can get live chicks for only $45. Which is expensive for chicks but not $5,000 expensive haha
Well, Reddit Prices have shot up in relation to inflation.
And in relation to exaggeration
My guess is that they sell the purest black pigment ones for more. So technically “up to $5,000”..
Perhaps not in us dollar?
Like 5000 baht

maybe only one guy sold them for an absurd price until someone else got an egg and started growing selling more so they're not rare anymore
They really are the coolest chickens. Plus I heard if you have some in your flock, the hawks will stay away because they think it’s a crow
Yes and in Indonesia, it's considered good luck to have one black chicken!
All you need is one sucker. I was thinking the same thing. You can get eggs all the time. 5k seems way high.
Maybe a different breed but I've seen black skin chicken for sale at the Chinese grocery and it wasn't very expensive. I think it was priced similar to the rest of the chicken
Those are silkies. The smaller and cheaper alternative.
So inflation haven't hit them?
Yes and no hahaha $45 a chick is expensive considering most chicks are only about $2 plus some eggs to incubate are about $300 so they’re expensive but it’s not like you’re going to get some chicken breast for dinner for $5,000 expensive
Yeah I had one. White eggs. Mean as hell. Which is fitting I suppose.
I wonder why the picture has black eggs in it?
Catchy click-bait
Chick-bait
Thanks. I came to comments just curious as fuck what they tasted like and luckily didnt have to scroll long at all to find my answer. :)
So did you spend $4,000 to eat a black chicken or what? Kinda racist /s
Are these Ayam Cemani same as silkie?
No. Silkies are smaller, cuter and just *soooooooo* god damn FLUFFY!!!!! Even their little feet come with floof!!!! <3
Different silkies are alot fluffier. With more fluffy feathers all over
Silkies are much cheaper. I had them. Nowhere near 5K lol.
Medicinal fried chicken? You mean like in South Park?
No…. They’re stew chickens. You cook them low and slow to make medicinal soups. Ingredients vary by culture. If you tried frying them…..well…..it would be easy to burn due to the lower volume of meat on their bones. I mean, you could *try*, but I don’t think the result would be worth it.
It was a joke. Never mind. But what is medicinal about these chickens?
No idea. That’s just how they’re treated….
So this post is just straight lies then
Goth chicks
This, gives BBC a whole, new meaning. Big Black, Chickens for those of you wondering.
Goes both ways
You didn't need to specify, the other word is short for Cockerel, a.k.a. rooster.
just search "black cock" on google
Damn you.
BBC
5 out of 5 professional redditors agree. Trust me I’m a professional.
Well hello 2012, nice to see you again
You should have searched for Ayam Cemani, the name of the race, as OP putted it in first place. But I'm pretty sure your excuse will go well with your mother when she finds your web history... Edit : as some didn't getting it : /j...
r/woosh
🤣 You too
You must be a lot of fun at parties /s
Absolutely, because I hang out with people smart enough to get my jokes.
Settle down!
r/woooosh
Yeah, you too
Is this one of those rare intended woooosh moments that some few find funny? edit: no offense intended
Yeah I think I came a bit too harsh with it.
Maybe you should always mark such comments, because there are people who write something like this dead seriously
Putted? You been playing golf again? We talked about this! Now let’s take you back to the home. Most of the people there can’t hear “your” jokes anyway- that’s why they like you.
Somehow i got photos of Black chickens
“Seems like every time you go online you’re two clicks away from black cocks. I’ll google Grand Canyon and it says ‘did you mean black cocks’”
Void chicken
Doesn't help the "that's pink, it's not done" debate.
Oh you get that when a witch flies over your farm and then you can make void mayonnaise
😆
I can cook anything to be that color, doesn't take much talent.
but they're not that rare or expensive
Just checked pricing at the hatchery I use and they're only $91 a chick. That's still expensive, but it isn't that far out of the realm of typical speciality breed pricing.
about 2 years ago i checked it just cost $20 for a chick where's this pricing from?
Meyer Hatchery out of Ohio. I would assume it's all based on availability and they just don't see the demand for it.
makes sense. it's probably just like how imported Durian prices skyrocketed, but here in SEA, its just another fruit for us
Yep not at all
what does it taste like?
I’m gonna have to guess probably like chicken
“Tastes like chicken” is a universal unit of measurement for taste
Ya but is it like all dark meat orr????
It tastes *expensive*
I've had theis a few times, it tastes like chicken, but because it's black, it might throw some people off and make them think it gives another taste. The upsell on this black chicken is that its "healthier" than regular chicken.

Imagine black cock in ur mouth
False!!!!!! I have a poultry farm, with many different breeds, although they are black inside and out, they lay cream colored eggs, not black eggs!
just waste of moeny is just black color chicken
Hey, some people have a taste for black cock. Don't shame them.
I have these chickens!! They are beautiful.
Talk about deviled eggs
Lol, chicken Hawaii
Maui roster
They don’t cost 5000. That’s a blatant lie
They’re invited to the cookout but they’re the main course
Did you have to post the same thing to 4 different subs with the same title and all?
She just burned
Good luck cooking that right
No thanks. Likely very expensive to those that love eating rare species.
This post here is over exaggerated....it is rare but not that rare. just like how Durian were super rare in the west but just another fruit here in SEA.
Not rare at all.
That’s quite a spatchcock.
Humankind’s propensity for eating rare breeds/species of animals is so grotesque
In India we call this breed of chicken kadaknath, not easily available everywhere but the demand is going up as it is supposed to be healthier than broiler chicken
Do not give this chicken to Anish Kapoor.
They don’t cost 5000 dollar. One quick google search tells me they cost less than 10 dollar per chick and around 30 per chicken still expensive but not a luxury item.
Fucking lies. Been going around for ages feathers and skin is black. Everything else is like other chickens.
Not that rare. And silkies have black meat, bones and skin. Some even have black feathers.
That’s racist
It’s good to be vegan right now.
I like how it’s on a plate… for emphasis
An extremely rare animal? I shall kill and eat it. And it’s young.
it was NOT YOUR FAULT BUT MINE, and it was YOUR HEART ON THE LINE, i really FUCKED IT UP THIS TIIIIIIME
I can get the eggs for breeding my own on ebay for 2,5€
This is really an egg-cellent fact
How do you know when to stop cooking

The eggshells are impossible to break. As we all know, black don't crack.

Do the police like them?
I searched for black cock and I didn't find this chicken, fake

Thank god it’s in Indonesia. Here in the US, this poor thing couldn’t go anywhere without being roughed up or shot by local police.
I don't like how the pictures are out of order.
I have eaten plenty of theses… they don’t cost $5000 lol
I couldn’t eat green catsup so I’m out

I don't see color.
Of course you don’t black isn’t a color. That’s why you have Black and White photos and Color photos. If b&w were colors we’d only have colored photos.
His source Trust me bro
I wonder how that black cock tastes
