I don't usually run into rare chickens unless at the poultry tent at the Addison County Fair, but I forgot to write down the breed. I did some research on this chicken and am fairly certain it is a Ayam Cemani. I enjoyed painting this and decided "go bold or go home" and chose the complimentary color (opposite on the color wheel) for the background. FYI (TMI?): The Indonesian chicken breed known as Ayam Cemani takes ‘dark’ into an entirely different realm. Their feathers are black. Their skin is black. Cut open an Ayam Cemani and you’ll find black muscle anchored to black bones. Even their organs are black.
