By Jeanette Johnson December 11, 2023 In China, they have several breeds classified as black-boned chicken, but Indonesia's Ayam Cemani takes it to the next level. Ayam means chicken and Cemani means all black. It's right in the name! Are Ayam Cemani aggressive? You may imagine this all-black bird to be aggressive, but it really isn't. The phrase 'don't judge a book by it's cover' fits them perfectly! The Ayam Cemani chicken is easy to handle and is one of the most low-maintenance chicken breeds out there. They are winter hardy, and can easily tolerate the heat making them the perfect breed for all seasons. Has anyone ever heard of cemani's being aggressive? I have 5 juveniles that I put into the coop with my cemanis to incorporate them in and I came out to find three of them with their heads pecked and bloody. I was recently informed by someone that they found the breed to be aggressive in their experience. I have read on other pages that they are rather flighty. Flighty I can handle, but I have little tolerance for aggression. Konon katanya, cemani inilah yang menjadi syarat untuk sesajen dan dipercaya bisa memanggil atau menarik makhluk halus. Selain itu, warnanya yang hitam juga identik dengan ilmu sihir. Itu dia penjelasan mengenai ayam unik asli Indonesia yang banyak digunakan untuk ritual serta upacara adat. Even though Ayam Cemani has brittle bones and needs to eat correctly to keep up walking for long distances despite their bony constitution, beneath all the fluff nevertheless lies a personality like no other! These birds have a big bossy attitude and can sometimes get quite aggressive! Uses of Ayam Cemani Roosters might have some aggressive tendencies, but they are overall easy to manage. Uses. Since Ayam Cemani is a rare breed, raising them for meat is not advised. Since it's such a gamble on whether owning a chick is a possibility, it's best for ornamental use. The Ayam Cemani is a very poor layer and is sporadic in their schedule. YldB.
