Cemani Chicken Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Kedu chicken, basil chicken, or cemani chicken is a local chicken breed that has been developed on the island of Java since the 12th century. Cemani chickens have a dominant gene that causes hyperpigmentation & x28;fibromelanosis& x29;, which makes these chickens mostly black, including feathers, beaks and internal organs. Kedu chickens initially functioned as ritual animals and were not glorified as broilers or layers.
